Before we get to the books themselves, can you tell me a bit about your own work on neuroscience in education? I work on children’s literacy, on how children learn to read across languages, and also what can go wrong. So I work with children who experience reading difficulties, on what is classically called dyslexia. I try to look at the brain basis of developmental dyslexia. You started your career as a primary school teacher, is that right? Yes, I’ve always been interested in reading.
