Dr. Bruce McCandliss (episode 2), Cognitive Neuroscientist from Stanford University discusses connections between neuroscience and education and how brain mechanisms develop to impact early literacy skills. How does neuroscience help us understand the changes going on in the brain of a child learning to read? Why do some children struggle so profoundly? Dr. McCandliss shares his research into focusing students' attention on letters and sounds versus on the word as a whole. Participants are highly encouraged to listen to the podcast prior to the session's start date. You can listen for free ( Sold a Story website, Apple, Google, or Spotify).
