Reading Brain Study

Stanford University School of Medicine

 

Thank you for your interest and for visiting our website! We are currently closed to recruitment. We may resume with new recruitment in a year or two, so please visit us again or contact us to get more information.


In this study we aim to examine the relationship between brain and behavior to better predict future reading differences in children (ranging from skilled to struggling readers). The findings from this study may help create effective early intervention for children who may struggle to read. We have welcomed many families to our study who had kindergarten (or first grade) children in the fall of 2008 and 2009. We are currently having these families come back at the end of first and second grade. For more information on our current and past research on the neural correlates and behavioral findings related to reading (in children and adolescents with and without dyslexia), please read our newsletter.pdf. If you are interested in learning more about our current study, please read through this website.
