S1-12. Neuroscience and early literacy: Dr. Bruce McCandliss

<p>Susan and Dr. Bruce McCandliss, a professor in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, chat about combining neuroscience with education. How does neuroscience help us understand the changes going on in the brain of a child learning to read? Why do some children struggle so profoundly? He shares his research into focusing the student’s attention on letters and sounds versus on the word as a whole.</p><p><b>Quotes: </b></p><p>“Teachers play a huge role in shaping brain development for reading.”</p><p>“This is where education and neuroscience are coming together to create a dialogue in the space of how we support children.”</p><p><b>Resources:</b></p><p><a href='https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BHYG41M/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0'>Bringing Words to Life, Second Edition: Robust Vocabulary Instruction</a> by Isabel Beck<br/><br/><a href='https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2377616115618036'>Where Is Educational Neuroscience?</a> by John T.
