- 50% of adults can’t read a book written at an 8th grade level.
So how did we get to this point?
...In his new book, Language at the Speed of Sight: How We Read, Why So Many Can’t, and What Can Be Done About It, Professor Seidenberg explains how his work in psychology and neuroscience has led him to believe that giving children the tools to read (through the medium of phonics) is so essential...Read all!
