- Nov 07, 2020
Literacy is so much entwined in our lives that we often fail to realize that the act of reading is a miracle that is evolving under our fingertips.
- Children

- Nov 07, 2020
Children need to have both time to think and the motivation to think for themselves, to develop an expert reading brain, before the digital mode dominates their reading. The immediacy and volume of information should not be confused with true knowledge.

I have always worried about who can read, who can't, who doesn't, and the great, life-altering consequences hidden within those distinctions.
- Brain

We human beings were never born to read; we invented reading and then had to teach it to every new generation. Each new reader comes to reading with a 'fresh' brain - one that is programmed to speak, see, and think, but not to read.
- Developmental

The act of learning to read added an entirely new circuit to our hominid brain's repertoire. The long developmental process of learning to read deeply changed the very structure of that circuit's connections, which rewired the brain, which transformed the nature of human thought.

The quality of our reading is not only an index of the quality of our thought; it is our best-known route to developing whole new pathways in the cerebral evolution of our species.
- Empathy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My work on what is called 'deep reading' explores the range of linguistic, cognitive, and affective processes that underlie not only the emergence of creative thought when we read but also the development and strengthening of capacities like empathy and critical analysis that we can apply to the rest of our lives.
- Good Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are, no doubt, as many conceptualizations of the good life as there are lives that aspire to it, but surely one of the most important pathways to its achievement begins with the desire to seek what is good - for the self, for those we love, for 'our neighbor,' for our earth.
- Limits

- Nov 07, 2020
We would be the worst of fools if we would ever lose this extraordinary capacity to go beyond the limits of past thought and past prejudices.

The most basic definition of fluency is simply the ability to read text accurately and quickly.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The first and most common reason for not being a fluent reader is that the child does not yet know how to decode very well yet. They lack automatic decoding skills, and this prevents them from being able to read accurately, much less smoothly and quickly. Decoding accuracy is the first prerequisite to fluency.
- Gift

- Nov 07, 2020
Every opportunity to practice is a gift to the developing reader. Practice, practice, practice, in every form and medium!
- Developmental
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fluency is the developmental process that connects decoding with everything we know about words to make the meaning of the text come to life. Fluency is a wonderful bridge to comprehension and to a life-long love of reading.

It's an individual waste and it's an economic waste for Australia not to recognise dyslexia.

There's no question that our children's attention and memory is changing when they are reading too long, too much, too early on digital screens.
- Cognitive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Digital technology can be a great resource, but it can also be a pernicious one, so it's how we, as a society, really study the cognitive impact of that and use evidence-based research to go after the technology designers to do a better job of dealing with the problems of memory and attention we are seeing.
- Deep
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We are the worst of fools if we do not teach every child to become truly expert, deep readers.
