About this episode
The episode discusses the limitations of brain imaging research in the context of reading instruction and emphasizes the need for critical evaluation of such information.
Just because a book, article, or presentation includes pictures of a brain or uses a whole bunch of big brain words, does not mean the information presented is always accurate or scientific. We must be responsible consumers of all information, and this includes brain imaging research for reading instruction.
