We can improve how students learn language & reading.
Science can show the way.
Hi, I’m Mark.
I am a psycholinguist, which means I study how humans read, learn and process language.
I have been studying the science of how our brains decipher and create meaning through language, which helps us understand how to teach reading to kids. This website is an outreach tool to help me reach and interact with educators looking for resources to help them teach literacy.
This is my book.
It’s about how we teach reading poorly in America, and how we can do better. This "important, alarming" (New York Times) science-based book explains why so many American students are falling behind in their reading skills, while others around the world excel.
