New research is reshaping how dyslexia is understood, showing that brain timing and rhythm play a critical role in learning to read. While many technology-based interventions address these findings, their high cost puts them out of reach for most families. Matthew Glavach, Ph.D., founder of StrugglingReaders.com, offers a practical, research-based alternative using simple tools—such as a metronome and paper-and-pencil activities—to strengthen rhythm, timing, and reading skills in engaging ways.
