Supporting Right Brain Readers
When we understand how right brain readers learn best, everyone benefits—students, families, and educators alike.
Traditional phonics-based methods often fall short for these learners due to the way their brains process written language, a difference known as the asynchrony phenomenon, identified by Dr. Zvia Breznitz. Expecting them to succeed through conventional strategies alone can lead to frustration and missed potential.
To help bridge this gap, I’ve created a series of 12 images that clearly explain how to effectively support right brain readers in a way that honours how they learn.

Technology Support for Right Brain Readers
Technology is a great way to support your Right Brain Reader. Here are some websites and apps for you to consider using:
Teach Reading in a Way That Works
Learn to Teach the Right Brain Reading Method
Assessing Right Brain Readers
Not sure if your assessment is a Right Brain Reading way? Grab the How To Help Sheet to ensure that you are using assessment tools that are fair for your students.
We must use the same tools for assessment that we do for teaching reading. We need to use all the strategies that we direct students to use.
We wouldn’t teach a student to play music by ear and then assess their ability to play by giving them sheet music to play.
We have to ensure that we assess how we instruct.
Tallying the number of words that they can read is one measure that you can provide.
Having them read unknown books, using Right Brain Reading methods, is also valid.
