Although Sousa argues that there is no such thing as reading brain. “There is no single part of the brain that does reading” (139). The first function of constructing the brain the visual processing or orthography. This first function is the visual processing which gives meaning to marks in a page. Words are nothing, if they don 't have meaning, so we have to learn the meaning of these words. For instance every time we see the combination of the words b, e, and d (bed) we know that means something we sleep in. Our brain associates certain combination of words and gives the meaning. Sousa mentions how the cortical usual processing stream decides into two. The first being the ventral pathway. The ventral pathway or “what pathway” process color, form, and fine detail. The other pathway is the dorsal which has to do with the where. (141) A perfect example of orthography is when a student is trying to spell a word. It is easier to write down the word and then say it because of visual
