Description
What’s really happening in your brain when you read a single sentence? This accessible, research-grounded guide traces the remarkable mental journey from recognizing letters to building meaning across words, sentences, and whole texts. Drawing on cognitive science, it explains the two core pathways of reading—by sight and by sound—while also illuminating comprehension, inference, and the close relationship between reading and writing. With an eye toward motivation and the challenges posed by today’s changing technologies, the book offers practical insight into how learners develop and how educators can support that process. Written in Daniel T. Willingham’s clear, engaging style, it turns the “magic” of reading into a map you can use.
