5Chris Cannon, Author of "Diagnosing the Destruction of Young Men"  Oct 31, 2007 By Chris Cannon
How The Brain Learns, is an exceptional resource for understanding the most effective ways to grasp information. This should be required reading for anyone in the educational field. It's helped to remove the barrier that stands in the way of average teachers becoming great and trouble students being seen as gifted. As the founder of www.Fighting4Youth.com, I've addressed these types of issues several times among students and teachers. However, it wasn't until I received this eye opening information from Dr. Sousa, that allowed me to truly be effectively in my quest to meeting these needs.

5Awesome Info on Brain Development  May 12, 2007 By Barbara Mckenna
I am a staff developer for teachers and parents regarding children from pre-birth to 99. The information that Sousa delivers in this text is invaluable. It helps us to understand in layman's terms, exactly what is involved in the brain and learning to read. Sousa is a topnotch author writing in a way that is so user friendly for parents, teachers, caretakers, administration....

I use his books like bibles when I instruct. Thank you Dr. Sousa for your wonderful gifts ....

4Fabulous information  Dec 07, 2008 By C. Guerra
Rather than lumping everyone into one box, this enlightens us to understand how the brain is so different in each individual impacting their ability to read, and learn in the process.

4A good book  May 02, 2009 By S. cartagena
Is a good book to understand the pathways the brain has to undergoe when someone is learning to read. It also teaches you a lot of reading strategies.


5Delicious!  Feb 03, 2012 By allnatural "woman"
I am a certified Reading Specialist and I am currently using this book for my recertification course. Although students in the class can access this book online for free, I needed it in print. I need to touch this book, feel the breeze of the pages flapping in-between my fingers.

Sousa explains the reading process in a clear and concise way that any layman could understand. Some literacy terminology, such as, phonological awareness v/s phonemic awareness can be confusing, but he clarifies the distinctions quite nicely. I am a fan of charts too and there are plenty of those throughout the book. We are only on chapter 2 and I had to have this book in my reference library!!!
