Effective early reading intervention depends on research and practice that leads to **positive changes** in classroom practice and better student reading outcomes. This important volume promotes the valuable “research to practice to research” loop, bringing top experts and practitioners together to examine what we know—and what we need to know—about effective reading and writing intervention.

Part of the respected Extraordinary Brain series, this book compiles and expands on critical findings presented at The Dyslexia Foundation's biannual symposium. More than 35 researchers and practitioners explore **the latest on topics relevant to effective reading and writing education**, from neurobiology and genetics to specific strategies for translating research into intervention—and learning from the results of these interventions to inform new research. The concluding chapters map out key priorities for future research and innovation.

An essential text for teachers, reading specialists, reading researchers, administrators, and students in graduate courses, this volume marks a significant step toward resolving the literacy challenges of young learners. It will also help move the field toward a firmly established “research to practice to research” collaboration among researchers and practitioners.

**KEY TOPICS COVERED:**

- neurobiological bases of word recognition and comprehension
- how behavioral genetics can inform education
- translating and applying research to the classroom
- designing and interpreting the results of randomized controlled trials (RCTs)
- the correlation between rapid automatized naming (RAN) speed and reading development
- the impact of eye movement research on our understanding of skilled reading
- reading development and difficulties among English Language Learners
- dialect variation in African American children
- the writing challenges of children with dyslexia and Language Learning Difficulty (LLD)
- developing research ideas from classroom and school experiences
- specific considerations for the field as it progresses and develops
- and more

## Reviews

April Benasich, Rutgers University - Newark \- June 3, 2015

“Fielding a stellar set of dyslexia researchers and educators, Connor and McCardle have produced an important volume that sheds new light on how to best move effective reading interventions from the laboratory to the classroom.”

Elena Grigorenko, Yale University \- June 1, 2015

“Presents current frontiers of research on typical and atypical reading and outlines both directions and destinations for future research.”

Mark Seidenberg, Vilas Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison \- May 27, 2015

“The authors are outstanding researchers who are closely attuned to the realities of the home, school, and community. I hope the book is read by everyone committed to addressing the hardest cases, children for whom reading and writing are especially difficult.”

Linda Siegel, Professor Emerita, University of British Columbia \- May 27, 2015

“An excellent book … The chapters are comprehensive, well written, and contain the most up-to- date references. It is essential reading for all investigators in the areas of reading and reading disabilities.”

Glenn Rosen, Department of Neurology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center \- May 26, 2015

“An absorbing book that covers the difficult issues surrounding reading intervention. This volume would provide compelling and novel information for parents, teachers, school administrators, and scientific researchers from a wide variety of disciplines.”
