Learning to read enhances responses to other visual input in early visual areas of the brain.
According to a new study, the brain's ability to process consonants in a noisy environment could give clues to a child's literacy potential.
Researchers study event related potentials to help predict children's reading levels in years to come.
Researchers offer specific guidance to parents about just what kind of talk is most important, and at what ages and stages in a child’s growth.
Visual processing problems in children have been linked to dyslexia, problems with motor skills, and difficulties in mathematics.
A structural brain scaffold in infants serves as a foundation for literacy. Language and reading may refine this pre-existing brain scaffold. The study also reveals robust language networks activate while children sleep if stories are read to them during slumber.
Researchers have identified a connectivity fingerprint that suggests the brain's reading network works across different cognitive domains, even mathematical skills.
Learning letter-sound correspondences early provides the best possible basis to learning how to read.
A new study reports that reading a good book can help increase mental flexibility.
A new study sheds light on how reading shapes our brain and can improve our memory. Those who are not practiced readers, researchers discovered, find it more difficult to distinguish how an object is oriented in space.
Findings shed light on possible causes for reading disorders such as dyslexia.
Researchers discover a child's ability to read depends mostly on where the child is born, rather than on their individual qualities.
