Over the past decade, reading has become an integral part of our lives. We stopped noticing how much we read and write and hardly ever think about how we do it.

Stanislas Dehan - a French neuroscientist, the leading cognitive neuroscientist in the world - thought about it seriously and conducted a large-scale study of the processes of formation of reading and writing skills. In this book, Dean answers questions about reading deficits, methods of teaching this skill, writing and reading disorders, perceptions of different writing systems, and other important aspects. Among other things, the neuroscientist gives recommendations on teaching children to read.

Stanislas Dean's research is a step towards more conscious reading, understanding how symbols on paper are transformed in our minds into new worlds and meanings. Right here and now.
