In many children, brain waves do not show evidence of automatic processing of words until sometime between 4th grade and college. Need to test between 5th grade and college. Need to distinguish between "good" and "poor" readers at different ages.

Author argues no, because we don't read without subvocalizations, and these slow our speed. To improve reading speed, build your "recognition vocabulary" - words that you can see and process automatically, so that "auk" becomes as familiar as "and."

Good readers in the 7-12 year old range show different connectivity pattern in white matter compared with poor readers, and differences observed at 7 continue as they grow older. Raises a lot of interesting questions, but it's correlational data, and one needs to look more deeply for the reasons that 12 year olds who start as poor readers end as poor readers. Maybe they don't read as much as good readers (dislike of reading, lack of success, etc.)
" Children could benefit from personalized lessons based on brain scans" - that's REALLY going beyond the data. -
