Hacking the Brain's Affective Domain: A Back Door Route to Reading & Writing Skill Mastery

Friday February 1, 2019
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Great Hall 3501 G

Hack into the brain's hardwired system for learning with instructional tools that target the affective “feeling” domain, and take advantage of invaluable learning loopholes rooted in the brain's plasticity! Increase early (and struggling) learner-momentum in reading AND writing far beyond just simple decoding by activating backdoor learning channels for accelerated phonics skill mastery. Harness the power of “what’s used together becoming fused together” in the brain, and take away multi-layered, instructional tools for transforming daily reading and writing instruction into a virtual playground for critical thinking and deep literacy learning!
