Success in Reading, Success in Life: Connecting the Neuroscience of Reading and Resilience

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Lexia Learning.The webinar recording can be accessed here.Understanding “The Reading Brain” can help educators enormously in their implementation of Science-of-Reading-based instructional strategies and student support. Yet, academics alone are not enough to accelerate learning. We need students who are supported in all aspects of their development to achieve success.We often use the term “resilience” to describe how students overcome challenges in the pursuit of academic success. While this mental and emotional elasticity is touted as a positive skill, is it really the answer for students, or do we need to dig deeper into the systems and structures that require this resilience while offering research-backed, effective instruction?Listen to this edWeb podcast with Lexia’s Senior Education Advisor, Kerri Larkin, and Resiliency, Inc.’s President and CEO, Horacio Sanchez, as they discuss brain function during reading, the role resilience plays in education, and how the Science of Reading can support learning for all students. You learn about brain processes during reading, what resilience is and how it is often misused, and how educators can activate the Science of Reading to better serve their students.This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and education technology leaders.Lexia LearningLexia is all for literacy because we know that literacy can and should be for all.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
