Shannon and Mary chat with Dr. Marnie Ginsberg from Reading Simplified about what happens in the brain during reading.   We talk about the reader's journey to whole word recognition and how reading teachers can help their readers bolt on the orthography to what students already know in spoken language and language comprehension. Listeners will learn how to build a strong foundation for reading and how to help their students build flexible decoding strategies.     Teachers will also hear examples of feedback to provide to readers in order to promote orthographic mapping.  Check out this episode to learn all about how the brain learns to read.
