Cellfield is built on the understanding that many reading difficulties stem from multiple weak links (phonological, visual, attention) in the reading network. Functional brain studies show that typical readers activate fast, efficient pathways in the left hemisphere, whereas struggling readers do not. The Cellfield tasks are designed to stimulate those typical neural pathways – essentially training the brain’s “software” for reading. By practicing with synchronised moving graphics and sounds, students gradually build neural efficiency, stimulating visual and auditory processing together – the way the [typical] brain works during proficient reading, and leading to more automatic decoding with better comprehension.
