Professor Daniel Willingham one of the most distinguished of cognitive psychologists working in education writes about the
'Potential power of narrative
to help students understand and remember complex subject matter.'This is what BRI and MRI do while opening up the world of storytelling. Importantly, the books consist of simple,focused steps resulting in reading fluency as well as growing comprehension.That's where the real pleasure of reading begins.
