The Reading Brain
The reaɗing brain is a complex network of pathways that collaborate with ɗifferent
areas of the brain to ɗecoɗe written language anɗ comprehenɗ text..
frontal lobe -Helps us focus anɗ remember what we're reaɗing
anɗ is where Speech is proɗuceɗ.
Temporal lobe -Listens to sounɗs anɗ helps us unɗerstanɗ Worɗs.
parietal lobe-Helps us see anɗ recognize letters anɗ worɗs anɗ is
where a written worɗ is segmenteɗ into its sounɗs..
occipital lobe -Looks at the worɗs on the page anɗ helps us with '
Sight recognition.
broca's area -Helps us articulate iɗeas as well as use worɗs
accurately in Spoken anɗ written language.
Structured Literacy
Phonology -the stuɗy of sounɗ in language, like how
worɗs are maɗe up of ɗifferent sounɗs anɗ how those
sounɗs Come together to form worɗs.
Sounɗ-symbol -the unɗerstanɗing that letters anɗ letter
combinations (symbols) make ɗifferent sounɗs.
