Learning to read changes the architecture of the brain Dr. Deborah Leong
![Page 9: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Learning to Read is NOT the same as Learning to Talk• To read, our brains connect and repurpose important
systems within it of visual, auditory and linguistic information in order to recognize symbols & their meaning
• It took 2,000 years for humans to develop written systems to represent spoken language with an alphabet

Early math is more than number
• Number and numerical relations• Spatial relations and measurement (bigger,
smaller, wider narrower)• Patterns
![Page 13: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Why early math is important• Children arrive at school with wide
variations in math knowledge. (e.g., Ginsburg & Rusell, 1981; Klibanoff, Levine, Huttenlocher, Vasilyeva, & Hedges, 2006; Lee & Burkam, 2002)
• Mathematical knowledge at start of school related to children’s long term academic achievement. (e.g., Denton & West, 2002; Duncan et al., 2007)
• Math knowledge foundational for broad STEM achievement, a sector where job growth is predicted to increase.
![Page 14: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How do young children learn math?
• Early math talk, play, and everyday activities • All adults engage in math thinking and can
readily share this thinking with children, increasing their math interest and knowledge
![Page 15: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• A child at the high-end of the range hears 60 times as many number words as a child at the low-end (a year).
Number words a child hears in a year:93,000 vs. 1,500
Quality matters, too!• Counting objects is better than rote counting• Combining labeling of set sizes with counting is
important (“There are 3 ducks, 1-2-3”)
Math ability is plastic: Related to opportunities to learn
Levine et al., 2010; Gunderson, Levine & Huttenlocher, 2011

What are executive function skills? Why do they matter?
How do EF skills apply to learning to read and math?
![Page 17: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Executive Function• A set of neurocognitive skills involved in the goal-
directed, intentional control of thought, emotion, motivation, and action—goal-directed regulation of other brain functions
• Necessary for using knowledge in service of goals
Prefrontal Cortex: Orchestrates & modulates function of other brain regions
Dr. Philip David Zelazo
![Page 18: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• EF skills as 3 ways of using attention–– Flexibly, Selectively, & Sustained over time
– (1) Cognitive flexibility• Shifting task sets or perspectives
– (2) Inhibitory control• Ignoring distractions, suppressing responses
– (3) Working memory • Holding info in mind and working with it
• EF skills invoked when we notice problem, go off autopilot• Depend on (and require) reflection:
– pausing, considering options and goals, monitoring
![Page 19: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Zelazo & Müller (2002)
“Hot” vs. “Cool” EF• Cool EF
– Assessed via abstract, decontextualized problems
– Control processes required for affectively neutral problems
• Hot EF– Needed for problems w/ affective or
motivational significance (meaningful consequences)
– Flexible reappraisal of whether to approach/withdraw concrete stimulus
![Page 20: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Why does EF Predict Key Outcomes? • EF skills essential for learning in classroom
environment– Paying attention, avoiding distractions– Remembering rules– Resisting impulsive responses– Managing emotional reactions, including motivation
and boredom• Allow for more reflective approach to learning,
deeper info processing (Marcovitch et al., 2008)
![Page 21: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Children with Better EF…• Learn more efficiently (e.g., Benson et al., 2013)
• Show > gains in math, K-1st grade (Hassinger-Das et al., 2014)
• Children with poor EF skills– Learn less effectively (cool EF)– More likely to be disruptive (hot EF)
![Page 22: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

What do we know about teaching early math, literacy, and EF skills?
![Page 23: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Early Math and EF are related• Executive functioning important for early math
• ”Amy has six cookies and ate two. How many cookies did she have before she ate some?”
• Inhibitory control helps kids not answer ”four”.• Early math can build executive functions
• Calculation problems require holding multiple pieces of information in mind (working memory)
• When given problems like 5 + 2, using “counting on” (6-7) rather than “counting all” exercises inhibitory control
Joswick, Clements, Sarama, Banse, & Day-Hess, 2019
![Page 24: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Actionable evidence about math learning• Play, everyday activities, and math talk build math
skills• Math attitudes important:
– Growth mindset: Importance of praising effort rather than math ability
– Stereotypes and math anxiety interfere with math learning by using up valuable working memory resources
• Important (and possible) to stem the intergenerational transmission of low math achievement and negative math attitudes
Berkowitz et al., 2015; Gunderson et al., 2019; Schaeffer et al., 2019

The boys’ arrows were nearly gone so they sat down on the grass and stopped hunting. Over at the edge of the woods, they saw Henry making a bow to a small girl who was coming down the road. She had tears in her dress and tears in her eyes. Does were standing at the edge of the lake, making an excellent target.

Neuroplasticity and Experience• Like other skills, EF skills are modified by experience• The brain is an inherently adaptive organ: We grow our
brains in particular ways by using them in particular ways
• When we activate brain networks, they adapt– Synaptic pruning and myelination
• True across lifespan, but periods of relative plasticity associated with rapid behavioral change (early childhood, transition to adolescence)
![Page 30: Upcoming GLR Webinars - Grade-Level Reading · 2019-06-14 · – Remembering rules – Resisting impulsive responses – Managing emotional reactions, including motivation and boredom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042311/5ed98cce1b54311e7967c568/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Focus on Developing Executive Functionsthrough Make-Believe Play
Mature Make Believe Play:– Deep engagement– Planned in advance– Roles with rules– Scenarios that change and adapt– Symbolic props – Language used to plan the play– Children voluntarily self-regulate,
accept regulation from peers and ‘other-regulate’
Make Believe Play is the first time children voluntarily regulate themselves

The INSTITUTE OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT
Take Home Messages• Children learn EF skills by using them (learn by doing)
• Providing children who are “at risk” with opportunities to practice EF skills (PreK-12) and reflect on them may reduce the achievement gap– Practice paying attention, thinking flexibly, keeping information in mind– Practice reflection (pausing, considering options and goals)
• Funders can support programs that cultivate EF skills as a foundational set of learning skills (vs. simply introducing more academic content earlier)
• Comprehensive approach that supports self-regulation more broadly (e.g., stress reduction) and supports the use of EF skills in context of problem solving in general (e.g., math, reading, science, social interactions)
