Learning to read
How do we read? Over the last twenty years, scientific research into the brain and reading has progressed by leaps and bounds. We now have a veritable science of reading. However, this research remains little-known to the general public and, above all, to those who are primarily concerned: parents and teachers of elementary school children.
We have written this book with a clear objective in mind: that scientific knowledge on the cognitive neuroscience of reading be disseminated and put into practice in schools.
We also hope that, with this book, parents will find even greater pleasure in understanding their children's minds, following their progress by imagining the astonishing transformations taking place in their brains, and extending the school's work at home with relevant games.
We must be guided by a single objective: to help children progress so that they become independent readers, who read as much to learn as for pleasure.
