This presentation will use research from neuroscience and education to describe the development of the reading brain and the importance of deep reading processes for our society and our species' future. Special emphases will be placed on the role of deep reading for developing critical thinking and empathy in the young and for sustaining these capacities across the lifespan. The unique impediments to reading in dyslexia will be described, along with the curricular principles for intervention that are based on the reading brain's multiple components.
