Course overview

Billie the Brain Learns to Read is a child's book that uses a literal, anthropomorphic brain character to explain the neuroscience of reading to children and adults. The book aims to show how reading together builds networks and promotes language development. Join a free educational series led by Dr. John S. Hutton, pediatrician, researcher, and literacy advocate. Known for groundbreaking MRI research on early brain development, reading, and screen media, Dr. Hutton brings science-backed insights that support language, connection, and healthy development in young children. Founder of the Blue Manatee Literacy Project and author of widely distributed children's health-literacy books, he shares practical guidance for families and individuals from all backgrounds.
