Conducted in collaboration with LBLP, this study from Stanford University investigated how the brains of dyslexic learners adapt to reading interventions over time. The study focuses on whether differences in the visual word form area (VWFA)—a crucial region in the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC) responsible for recognizing written words—are a stable trait of dyslexia…
The role of brain activity in characterizing successful reading intervention in children with dyslexia Krafnick, A. J., Napoliello, E. M., Flowers, D. L., & Eden, G. F. (2022) Frontiers in Neuroscience, 16. doi=10.3389/fnins.2022.898661 Studies of reading intervention in dyslexia have shown changes in reading performance and in brain function. However, there is little consistency in…

Scientific Reports, 7, 4185. doi:10.1038/s41598-017-04471-5 Background: As one part of on-going Lindamood-Bell Learning Process (LBLP) intervention studies with dyslexics, the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Science (I-LAB) examined anew the causal relationship between…
Donnelly, P. M., Huber, E., & Yeatman, J. D. (2019). Intensive summer intervention drives linear growth of reading skill in struggling readers. Frontiers in Psychology, 10, 1900. doi:10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01900 Abstract A major achievement of reading research has been the development of effective intervention programs for struggling readers. Most intervention studies employ a pre-post design, to examine efficacy, but…
