Reading is not natural to humans. We are not born with brains equipped for it, making literacy a learned behavior that repurposes neural circuits meant to do other tasks (Ozernov-Palchik & Saab, 2016). There is so much literature and research out there when it comes to the science of reading + dyslexia. Having fallen down the rabbit hole of literacy, I'm here to unpack it as best I can for you!
