People don’t have a choice as to whether they find reading easy or hard. 80% of children develop reading and comprehension skills easily, but 20% find it difficult, no matter how hard they try! This is not teachers’ fault, nor is it parents’ fault. For the 20% of children who struggle with reading, extra practice will only make a significant difference in a small number of cases.
Research into the role of the skill learning centre of the brain (the cerebellum) will eventually reach education policy makers, when that happens they will realise that the big transformation in people’s ability to read will happen when they have completed a cerebellar developmental programme.
