Brain disorders make children, including very intelligent children, have difficulty learning to read and may be the source of future failures. But according to the study, brain scans can predict teen development of reading skills with an accuracy of up to 90%.

One of the study authors, Professor Bruce McCandliss of Vanderbilt University said: ' This study is an important step in the detection of potential benefits thanks to the combination of neuro-neuroscience and research. Save education by showing how brain scans are sensitive to individual differences, thereby predicting future education-related skills . "

The researchers found that the results of brain scans showed significantly greater accuracy in predicting when a literate child can read fluently than the standard reading method or his behavior. .

Professor Bruce argues that the study offers the prospect of a future test method that can help students with dyslexia access the most effective treatments.

This study was carried out with the work of experts from Stanford University Medical School, researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Jyvaskyla University of Finland and York University of England.
