Word Recognition
SIGHT RECOGNITION▪ Orthographic memory ▪ Orthography – spelling patterns of English▪ orthographic memory is different from visual memory▪ Poor spellers - significantly slower and more error prone than better spellers at classifying both regularly and strangely spelled words
detecting letter transpositions in long words

Many Parts Involved
The Reading BrainThe Left Hemisphere
Phonological processing: articulatory mapping
Graphemic analysis
Phonological processing: correspondence between letter and sound
Relay station;Cross-modality integration
After multisensory instruction, brain activity changes from the RIGHT, visual side of the brain to the LEFT, logical processing side.
Changing the brain
The Reading Brain
Teachers can rewire
