Abstract
Structured Literacy research indicates that orthographic mapping is the key to reading for typical learners and those with multiple types of learning differences including deafness, auditory processing disorder, and dyslexia, for example. Orthographic mapping is foundational to reading fluency, comprehension, and written expression. In this current ongoing study, multiple researchers are examined to uncover the best neurologically-based reading strategies and skills that strengthen reading for all students. These reading strategies and skills apply to cultures with character-based alphabets. I will discuss why districts and schools need a scaled orthographic system focusing on advanced phonemic awareness from preschool through high school. Age-appropriate, multi-sensory strategies, and kinesthetic activities will be incorporated to activate brain highways. Discussion also exemplifies basic health activities that synergize with brain activation strategies.
