The Reading BrainThe Left Hemisphere Phonological processing: correspondence between letter and sound Relay station; Cross-modality integration Phonological processing: articulatory mapping Graphemic analysis
Changing the brain After multisensory instruction, brain activity changes from the RIGHT, visual side of the brain to the LEFT, logical processing side.
