This is an engaging explanation, but it leaves out the importance of phonemic awareness. The letter-sound correspondence is essential, of course. But phonemic awareness precedes this. Many children and adults, including those who are dyslexic, have difficulties in this first step: the aspiring reading must first be able to separate the phonemes in words. This is entirely oral and involves no written letters. (For example, when you hear the word "sit", you should be able to separate it into the phonemes /s/, /i/, /t/. You should also be able to hear the phonemes and know what the word is. Strengthening this ability is an important part of learning to read for many struggling readers.

Hi there, we have just watched this video in our literacy courses for teacher training purposes. Thank you for sharing and I especially like the part: The Secret Ingredients of Successful Learning 1. attention 2. Active Engagement 3. Error Feedback 4. Consolidation. Thanks :-)

This video presents the dual-route model as if it is settied science. The connectionist, "triangle" model is also well-supported -- it maintains that we read all words through a complex of orthographic, phonological, and semantic systems. Dr. Dehaene has shown that phonology is activated even when reading familiar words. Why not highlight that model instead, or as well?

You do not have to learn individual letter sounds before learning to read. I was reading at age 1 through whole word learning. My Mom wrote parts of the body like Foot, Eye, Tongue and I learned by sight and sound of the whole word and I would point to the part of the body it was. I actually learned to read at the same time or prior to learning speech. Learning the sounds of each letter would have delayed my learning to read until.age 5 or 6.

I know what I did before I learn. I did not learn to read until I was past 40yrs old.
