disengaged kids successfully. Why not spend the required money to teach these
kids instead of wasting it on building prisons and teaching kids in prison.

My comment on the above post (see part 1) about a week ago:
"..... how to resolve the ambiguity they
experience"(Dr. David Boulton)
I had written to Dr.David, Dr.Reid Lyon and Dr.Siegfried
Engelmann a few years ago and after the first few email exchanges there was no
further response. I have now clearly identified how to determine a shut-down
student and have written about what it takes to get them to read. I do hope
that Dr.David Boulton will seriously look into how to help these kids. We can
reduce the illiteracy rate if we start teaching the proper way.
Dr. David Boulton’s response:
Learning-Activist, Non-Profit Executive Director, Theorist, Technologist, Author, Consultant, PD…

Children of the Code avoided advocating solutions so as not to be dismissed as having an agenda other than learning deeper into the challenge. 3 decades of work have culminated in a solution, an entirely different approach to supporting learning to read: https://youtu.be/lDVNUvocVz4
Good luck all
give you the answer. I know the answer and have written to you and I did not get a response. Dr. David Boulton, what is written in the Children of the Code is what most people already know - about 10 to 20 % of kids all over the world cannot read in the English language. I know why but do you have a ear to listen?
Dr. David Boulton:
say you have been through my work you'd know that. I appreciate that you help people. I don't want engage further with you. I am not interested in being a platform for self aggrandizing. I wish you all the best.

ve been through your work and I know why a great majority of the kids classified as dyslexics struggle to read. You are welcome to give your comments on my post today and on future posts. Wish you well.Luqman Michel
t what works and what doesn’t …………” I have studied kids who had shut down since 2004 and have come up with why they disengage from learning. I am prepared for any questions grilling me on what I have written. Instead of grilling me, if 'pillars of education' just shut me off, how will we ever learn? Why doesn't this team study what has been independently researched by someone who wants to help kids in the future and change their course of life?

I am intrigued as to how or why two of the three links given above by Dr. David Boulton disappeared within a few days of me response to his comment. I tried clicking on the following links given by Dr. Boulton:

And the following is what I get:
This video has been removed by the user.
The video immediately following the 3rd link provided above
is the following.
This is exactly what I mean by teaching kids sounds of alphabets that make them confused and thereby shut-down.
With the millions of dollars received by COTC why can't they have videos produced by themselves which do not have videos that are detrimental to kids who are prone to shutting down?
Regret that the video I posted above did not appear.
Let me try again:

The above video and videos of similar nature are what makes kids shut-down.
The search for solutions to any problem for the common good is best served by openly evaluating all findings by interested parties. It is not helped by removing/blocking some posts n accusing people with different findings/opinions of self aggrandizement and in the process deprive everyone of the opportunity to make objective assessment.
It is very well and good, learning deeper into the challenge faced by children who do not reach grade level proficiency.
But, after having learnt deeply the challenge faced by children who do not reach grade level proficiency, and in the process also learnt what is the reason children struggle to read in English, wouldn’t the natural thing to do next be to show the world how to teach children to read in a way so that they can be proficient in reading and thus be able to read at grade level?
How to teach children to be proficient in reading?
1. Teach them the right way. For example, do not add a vowel sound to letters.
2. If they have been taught the wrong way, they have to unlearn (the wrong method) and then learn the right way as in 1 above.
3. Teach them that some letters in the English language have more than one sound. This is extremely important.
4. Once they have been told 3 above, there will be no confusion because they
can accept that some letters have more than one sound.
David Boulton, notwithstanding the funds that you continually generate from all sources supposedly to find a learning solution for 2/3 the kids of the U.S.A., your arrogant attitude belies this fact.
You believe that only you and close affiliates have the source to the solution and therefore the funds, and are not interested in exploring methods which are proven elsewhere. The fact that you removed 2 links from your website suggests you are not infallible.
Unlike you, Luqman seeks gratification only from the success that has been achieved and hoped that others would be able to benefit.
Yes, the 2 links were removed immediately after my comment. I believe these two videos that were removed were the ones on wrong teaching of phonics that I have been harping on.
When I click on the 2 sites viz: https://youtu.be/yjjtHytskqs
and https://youtu.be/h0XQyKbqSjI
I see, "This video has been removed by the user."
