Through a series of case studies from Afghanistan, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, India, and the UAE, this book highlights developments in cognitive neuroscience that expand literacy rates, connecting them to effective classroom practices. Contributing authors analyze the development, implementation, evaluation, and scaling of perceptually enhanced programs, providing a practical guide on how these approaches can be used with various languages and groups of people. Featuring perspectives from across the Global South, the book sheds light on the psychological and physiological processes in literary development, emphasizing the efficiency of perceptually enhanced reading approaches for non-western orthographies.

Perceptually Enhanced Learning for Literacy is a vital read for scholars and students in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and education. It will also benefit education specialists, international development practitioners, and governmental stakeholders interested in the improvement of functional literacy rates.
