Learning to read is so complex—and so uniquely human. This resource is an invitation to reframe how we think about reading development.

Together you’ll explore:
How does learning to read change our brain?
How can we reframe reading challenges?
Why is reading not an innate skill humans are born with?

This handout is designed to be paired with the read-aloud A Walk in the Words by Hudson Talbott, a story about the author’s own experience learning to read. We recommend looking for the book at your local, independent bookstore or a public library.
