What’s Here

This website is about reading, how children learn to read, and how to improve reading achievement. Things you’ll find here:

Seidenblog:  It’s a blog. A lot is happening across the country, with new controversies over curricula, teaching methods, teacher qualifications, legislation, and dyslexia. A person has to respond. And you can too.

Book:  All of the endnotes are included here with live links to the cited documents and websites. I’ve created simple demos of important experiments: suitable for trying on your friends and family!  Supplemental material that clarifies some of the tricky sections of the book.  Coming very soon:  A full reader’s guide to the book, with chapter summaries, links, answers to common questions.

Other stuff to Use and Amuse:  Links to some recent talks. Illustrations, data figures, videos. Links to reliable sites. The funny pages.
