Maryanne Wolf
for her first U.S. presentation following the release of her new book:
Reader, Come Home - The Reading Brain in a Digital World
Dr. Wolf will describe the reading brain's neurological circuitry and plasticity and what this tells us about reading development and reading instruction. She will talk about interventions for struggling readers and students with dyslexia and will discuss the importance of deep reading processes and the reading brain in a digital world.
Registration, breakfast and exhibitor tables will begin at 7:45 a.m. in Merion Hall.
