Many studies have shown that dyslexia affects certain areas of the brain, and in a new study done by the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, researchers targeted a new part of the brain and found results.

Many dyslexic students struggle with math and feel anxious about solving difficult math problems or sitting down for a math exam.

A new study by Cell Press finds that a specific abnormality in the processing of auditory signals accounts for the main behaviors of dyslexia.

The Power of Morphology

Morphological awareness is the recognition, understanding, and use of word parts that carry significance, but it is often overlooked in the learning process. Learn activities that help integrate morphological awareness for students learning to read and write.

A Swiss study shows that taking up a musical instrument could create a powerful stimulus for the brain and might even improve IQ by up to seven points in both adults and children.

What happens when students don’t have good executive functioning skills?

Your friend Theresa stops over. She’s not on your to-do lists or your calendar, but you let her in nonetheless and consequently spend thirty minutes talking to her, which stops you from completing your reading assignment.

Scientists at MIT have discovered that dyslexics have trouble recognizing voices speaking their own language.

A study published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience suggests that most readers "speak" voices in their heads while reading dialogue in books.

A study conducted at the Stanford University School of Medicine used brain imaging to predict which teenagers with dyslexia would improve their reading skills overtime.

Dr. John Gabrieli from MIT, our own colleague Dr. Ioulia Kovelman from the University of Michigan, Dr. Maryanne Wolf from Tufts University, and others from Harvard and the Children’s Hospital of Boston evaluated the brain function of typical and dyslexic readers when engaged in phonological awareness tasks with some very interesting results!
