The Research Behind Right Brain Reading
Right Brain Reading isn’t just a new way to teach reading — it’s grounded in research and real-world success. From neuroimaging studies to classroom-based results, this section brings together everything you need to know about why the RBR method works for learners who haven’t found success with traditional approaches.
Scroll through the summaries below to dive deeper into the brain science, the typical outcomes of conventional methods, and the proven results of the Right Brain Reading approach.

-
Neuroimaging Research
Brain scans now show us how non-readers process text — and why old methods don’t always work.
-
Neuroimaging Comparison
Neuroimaging shows non-readers use different brain areas than typical readers — especially the right.
-
Neuroimaging & Reading Difficulties
Brain scans show why non-readers struggle with phonics — their timing is out of sync for reading.
-
Reading Difficulties are Universal
Research shows reading challenges exist worldwide — regardless of language or writing system.
-
Origins of Language
Reading isn’t instinctive — our brains must repurpose existing systems to decode written text.
-
Typical Intervention Results Research
Research shows phonetic methods don’t close the gap for chronic non-readers—RBR does.

Articles
Research-backed articles explore how right-brain methods help chronic non-readers succeed.
