So nice to see a univ.-based research program that's taking advantage of the advances in brain imaging and looking at the neural networks involved in reading! At the same time, as you well know, what about the role of motivation, modeling (parents read at home), ADHD or ADHD-like behavior? Good readers have a "reading circuit" that's more than the knowledge listed in the post above. And what have you discovered about the role of movement in learning to read--specifically the ability to easily cross the center midline of the body. Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers often report to me that those kids who can't skip, for example, have a harder time learning to read and write. Thanks to you and your staff at Tufts for the good work you're doing! Hi Gary
