Understanding How Proficient Reading Works

Background Information on the Process of Proficient Reading

for Parents and Teachers

 

Before designing reading instructional activities, we need an understanding of the actual process of proficient reading. Recent scientific advances and research has provided a wealth of information that helps us better understand both how students learn to read proficiently and why some students fail to learn to read. The evidence based research and neurobiological science on the process of reading provides us with a much more accurate ‘map’ to reading success.
