Every human being undertakes a process in order to learn "the code of English." This book explains how the brain learns to read and spell. It serves to motivate children, parents, and teachers to be active learners.
Only 32% of children read proficiently at grade level according to national testing. If you suspect dyslexia or other learning disabilities, this book explains the complex process of learning to read and spell to children. In easy-to-understand language, this book's teachings are based on the Science of Reading theories that have been developed over the past five decades.
As author Maya Angelou wisely states, "When you know better, you do better."
Review Quotes
"In the service of helping the young discover the beauty of reading, this book embodies one of the more delightful invitations to learning: Whimsy!"

"Whether dyslexia or not, The Science of Reading matters a lot! Calling All Neurons! creatively explains the complicated process of how all humans learn to read and write in an 'easy to read' format, including cleverly illustrated neuron characters, which serve to engage, enlighten and entertain readers. Parents, caregivers, teachers, librarians and even school administrators will learn about the 'literacy miracle' as they read this book to and with children!"
-Donna Hejtmanek M.A., M.S. Creator and Administrator of the popular Face Book Group 'Science of Reading-What I Should Have Learned in College', Co-Founder of Credentials Unlimited, Retired Reading Specialist
"Most people never give much thought to the complexity of learning to read, write and spell. This process is explained in a research based, creative, interactive, and easily understood manner. As a pediatrician, and the parent of a successful adult dyslexic, I wish this book had been available when my daughter struggled to learn to read. Additionally, I plan to share this resource with parents of patients who have difficulty acquiring reading and writing skills, as well as my colleagues. Calling All Neurons! provides key insights and tips for parents, educators, pediatricians, caregivers-really anyone who may be involved in a child's learning."
-Steven S. Wexberg MD Pediatrician, Cleveland Clinic Foundation and parent of a daughter with dyslexia
