Did you know that...? New research can identify the neural structures associated with poor reading skills in young children, and could lead to an early warning system for struggling students.
New research from Stanford University shows that brain scans can identify neural differences in the brain that are indicative of whether a child will likely become a strong reader or not. At an early age the brain is still plastic, and genes, environment and experiences can affect the rate of development in the white matter regions of the brain which are associated with learning to read. Early identification of children at risk for having reading problems could allow for early interventions designed to maximize development of reading skills while the brain is still malleable.
