1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 BS 145 celebrates the return of Dr. Maryanne Wolf who was featured back in BSP 29 when we talked about her bestseller Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. In this episode we talk about her recent book&amp;nbsp;Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century. Our focus is two-fold. First we consider the implications of the fact that while language is acquired naturally, reading is a cultural invention that must be taught. Second, we explore how the brain is changed by reading and consider the consequences of the shift toward digital media. This is a thought provoking conversation that will interest listeners of all backgrounds. For complete show notes and episode transcripts, please visit http://brainsciencepodcast.com.
