The root cause of children being unable to read (Part5)

 

Luqman Michel

Excellent questions. Thank you. I don't have supporting research by others as no one does this research. What little was done has been suppressed by those with a vested interest. (Remind me later on this.)

NOTE: Here is my answer to ‘Remind me later’. Research has been suppressed. Why isn’t a study that costs taxpayers billions of USD not been widely disseminated? Interviews were conducted with more than 100 experts and many kids who could not read.

I asked David Boulton, the interviewer of Children of the Code, what is his conclusion after his interview of more than 10 years with more than 100 experts and his answer was:

Children of the Code avoided advocating solutions so as not to be dismissed as having an agenda other than learning deeper into the challenge. LINK

Having been informed by experts in the interviews that the main problem with kids being unable to read is teaching the sounds of the letters wrongly David Boulton went ahead and posted 2 videos teaching letter sounds wrongly.

When I questioned him about the videos, he immediately unfriended/blocked me on LinkedIn. 

Why did he then delete the two videos?

Read the comments on the link above.

Is there a puppeteer who is directing the puppets? (More on this later)

Below is the answer to Ethan’s question: How do kids who can't read in grade 4 figure out how to read  in later years?

The brain is powerful enough to figure out and no one knows how kids figure it out. No one knows how a kid learns to read.

I have recordings of college kids in Perth reading the sounds of letters with extraneous sounds. The same kids read the nonsense words in Dr. David Kilpatrick's book.

This is the case with many adults in Malaysia I have interviewed.

How are they able to read cuhahtuh as cat? Duhahguh as dog?

They somehow figure it out. They somehow get out of the confusion. LINK

How did the two girls above read the nonsense words in Dr. David Kilpatrick’s book when they were pronouncing the letter sounds with extraneous sounds? (More on this later)

Here is my answer to Ethan’s question on analogies and patterns:
