Reading may feel like second nature to most of us; however, the brain is not born knowing how to read. Reading is not embedded in our DNA (Wolff), unlike speech, which has deep evolutionary roots.
Written language has existed for only about 5,000 years, far too short a time for the brain to have evolved dedicated neural circuitry for it. Instead, the brain does something remarkable: it repurposes regions originally designed for other functions, such as visual processing, spoken language comprehension, and speech production so that we can learn to read.
