Episode notes
How Fluent Reading Works
- Fluent readers fixate on nearly every word and attend to nearly every letter within words consciously.
- This occurs because sound-spelling patterns are overlearned and decoded by unconscious neural networks.
Best Way to Learn Reading
- Learn to read by systematically mastering basic sound-spelling combinations (phonics).
- Engage in lots of focused reading that pays attention to letter sequences in words.
Self-Efficacy Shapes Motivation
- Motivation depends not only on expected benefits but also on belief in one's ability (self-efficacy).
- Success experiences boost self-efficacy, which in turn increases motivation in a reinforcing cycle.
