Neuroscience applied to reading comprehension
Intervention strategies for students with and without learning difficulties
Description
A comprehensive masterclass exploring the neurological mechanisms of reading and evidence-based strategies to enhance reading skills across all ages. Delve into how the brain processes written language, from letter recognition to understanding complex texts. This masterclass explores the neural underpinnings of reading, common difficulties like dyslexia, and the most effective interventions according to current neuroscientific research. You will learn to design teaching practices that align with the brain's reading mechanisms, promoting robust and lasting skills.
Objectives
- Identify early signs of reading difficulties and understand how RTI models can support early detection and intervention.
- Analyze the latest research on the effectiveness of reading interventions.
- Explore evidence-based strategies such as one-on-one tutoring, fluency development programs, and explicit comprehension instruction to support students with and without learning challenges.
