In this edWeb podcast, noted literacy scholars Maryanne Wolf, author of Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World, and Tim Odegard, a leading dyslexia expert, along with reading researcher Carolyn Brown, Ph.D., discuss the conditions that support not only fluency, but also deep reading. The development of the complex and interactive neural networks necessary for deep reading is framed by Maryanne’s multi-componential approach for building fluency.
