  • Manipulate patterns to improve reading skills
  • Improve reading fluency
  • Combat the stress and anxiety that can inhibit reading fluency
  • Increase vocabulary
  • Overcome reading difficulties that can interfere with comprehension

By enriching your understanding of how the brain processes language, emotion, and other stimuli, this book will change the way you understand and teach reading skills--and help all your students become successful readers.
