Literacy

"We were never born to read. Human beings invented reading only a few thousand years ago. And with this invention, we rearranged the very organization of our brain, which in turn expanded the ways we were able to think, which altered the intellectual evolution of our species. Reading is one of the single most remarkable inventions in history; the ability to record history is one of its consequences."

I have designed four lessons in reading, which each align with a level proposed in the Stages of Reading Development, by Maryanne Wolf in 2008. To access these lessons, click any of the following links:
