Rewiring Dyslexic Brains: The Writing-First Approach with Russell Van Brocklen
View Transcript
Episode Description
What if everything we've been taught about teaching dyslexic students to read and write is backward? In this eye-opening second installment of my conversation with Russell, we discover how the dyslexic brain's unique wiring demands a completely different approach to literacy.
Russell reveals the science behind his revolutionary method, showing us brain scans where dyslexic students have 2.5 times more activity in the front part of their brains compared to typical students. This neurological difference explains why traditional teaching methods often fail—and points to a solution that plays to dyslexic strengths rather than weaknesses.
