Summary

Young children in literate societies often learn to read without formal teaching. How do they do this? Some people think they learn to read by a process called the Neurological Impress method (NIM). NIM was developed to teach brain-damaged soldiers to read again after World War II. Has been used successfully with those who had strokes and with others who had traumatic brain damage. Though it has never entered the mainstream of teaching techniques in public schools, it is sometimes used by special education teachers working one-on-one with students in the United States.
