Two Perth specialist tutors have created a sentence teaching approach that integrates visual scaffolds with careful questioning so that students can better comprehend what they read, and better write what they wish to say.

I wonder how long it will take curriculum developers and teacher training to consider the points made in both paragraphs deeply and to integrate them into their role in enabling the cognitive and emotional needs of the entire spectrum of neural diversity are met.

Finally reading Stanislas Dehaene's How We Learn. Still in the introduction and thrilled but not surprised to hear it chiming with the pedagogy of That Reading Thing. This is the science of reading.
