  • Lobes in the posterior cortex are wired for input.
  • Referred to as the reception lobes of the brain.
  • They are also the short-term and long-term information storage centers of the brain.
  • Passive processing center of the brain.

    • Accuracy – The ability to read words with no noticeable cognitive or mental effort. (Automaticity) 

      • The most important factor in fluent reading

    • Rate       – The speed at which a student reads a text. 

      • Much more complex than speed alone

      • Faster = Better

      • Reading fast is not the same as reading fluently

    • Prosody       – The pitch, tone, volume, emphasis, and rhythm in speech or oral reading.

      • The ability to chunk words into appropriate phrases
    Prosody may be an outcome, rather than a contributor to comprehension.

    Occipital Lobe

    Receives visual inputs

    Visual analysis is the first step in reading


    Visual Word Form Area 

    Essential role in the visual analysis of letter and word shape

    • Visual word form area - The Brain’s Letter Box
    • Hub for binding together and storing information about printed words. 

    • Orthographic processor


    Temporal Lobe

    Spoken and written word comprehension as well as phonological awareness and decoding/discriminating sounds.


    Inferior Frontal Gyrus

    • Slower analytic route to reading and is often overactive in atypical readers. 



    Broca’s Area

    • Enables humans to perceive, remember, analyze, and articulate or produce speech sounds.


    Left Parieto-Temporal Region

    • Slower analytic route to reading - words are analyzed and sound-symbol association begin to be established. 



    Wernicke’s Area

    • A receptive language hub that assists with comprehension and understanding what words mean. 
    • Context and language processor



    Parietal Lobe

    Perception 

    Making sense of the world

    Sensory- visual input, taste, touch, temperature 
    The parietal lobe is responsible for spoken and written word comprehension.


    The Frontal Lobe

    • This lobe of the brain is programmed for output and made to receive information. 

    • This works as a ‘conductor,’ and if this area of the brain is strong, then an individual will typically have skills with focus, organization, working memory, and self-monitoring. 

    • Responsible for expressive language.
