Dyslexia and the reading brain:
"All of us are born with brains that are designed to think and talk.
But no one is born with a brain that is designed to read.
For that reason, every child who learns to read is adapting older brain structures to a new purpose, and 'it's almost a miracle that so many kids are able to do that effortlessly.'
That's one of the main messages that Dr. Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University, will deliver in a keynote address at a dyslexia conference here on Saturday."
