description=Learning is not just one of the things we do. Everything we do, in every of moment life, involves learning; every movement we move, every emotion we feel, every word we know, and every thought we think. Babies learn to become children, children learn to become teens, and teens learn to become adults.;

advise and has quit school feeling a total failure we support him and build his confidence but it feels like we are constantly having to repair the damage the education systems inflict on him this is the sad truth of it and it makes me angry and very determined to do what i can in my small way to open eyes and minds to how different it could be reply holly kaminski july 26 2012 at 8 36 am david what you are doing is truly wonderful and i appreciate all your work and effort i love rick lavoie too and love all the work he does i guess as a mom with 2 dyslexic children the big question i have can the system change i don t see it happening everything you talk about makes perfect sense but those that hold the cards in education i don t believe have kids on their minds teachers are not even trained properly to teach reading anymore they are forced to use the john dewey ideals which have been around well over 80 years accessability starts from the heart there has to be a will from those that have the grip hold on the system to want to help our children the biggest problem the parents have is the fight with their schools we parents have to become lawyers doctors and teachers now most parents i know have to actually teach their children because of all this learning through discovery methods the fix is easy to me just go back to the basics and lay that foundation down and build from there but if one has never mastered those basics they will struggle in everything and society views those folks as misfits like there is something wrong with them because they don t conform thank goodness parents can still homeschool for now and think it s not illegal yet society needs to start preserving and protecting life will it i look at all these kids that struggle and feel sick everyday what have we done to our children the value of life is getting less and less it s like these kids are just treated as animals i hope and pray that someday we adults can change and access how to better serve our children thank you reply learning activist july 26 2012 at 9 59 am thanks for your comment holly your question can the system change is one of the key questions but the problem isn t reading or going back to basics it s much deeper and more insidious in my view it s how we have learned to think about learning how we compartmentalize it into the status of a mental utility rather than the central dynamic of being human like i said in cotc phase 2 for every child and adult who struggles and for all of us as a society reading problems are always a consequence of learning problems having a misorienting view of learning infects everything about how we think about educating and parenting we could never have gone to the moon or developed the modern digital world with newtonian physics we needed a revolution in our basic assumptions to take the next steps same for education most efforts to reform education are analogous to rearranging the litter box and expecting a new breed of cat to jump out it until we understand the vast and profound dimensions of learning in our lives that we are currently oblivious too our efforts to improve the system will be misguided and only prolong our ultimate challenges your children are fortunate to have a mom who cares enough to learn how to help them for every family like yours there are probably 20 that haven t a clue what to do as for someday we adults changing yes that is the tipping point and for me we could best describe it as no longer assuming that what we think children should learn is more important than how well they can learn thanks and all the best david reply autismtoohumandaniel pech november 20 2012 at 8 30 pm children learn to walk naturally that is without explicit instruction simply because children are their own ready instruments and contraption this is unlike both probabilistic spelling codes and really giant bicycles neither of which are readily learned even by adults who ve never experienced either kind of contraption a one to one spelling code is like a scooter bike such a bike is relatively easy to learn to ride because its tipping altitude is only inches off the ground whereas a probabilistic code is like that really giant bike if you haven t yet acquired the instinct to which riding a bike is a mere extension of the ability of walking then even without bad instruction being pushed into trying to learn to ride that giant bike is likely to be that much more frustrating how badly can you be instructed in learning to blink if you already know how answer not likely bad at all and only if some all of your own instincts about it are more or less prevented by the mechanics or manner of the instruction a probabilistic spelling code is not itself a disadvantage at worst it is the key point of opposition to a society which both because of and in spite of its sheer economic success is made up mostly of parents who far more effectively are concerned with whether their child is admirably keeping up with the jones s kid than they are with whether their child is keeping up with himself these are not those parents in third world countries who live in such poverty of advantage that they do not expect their children ever to get a better life than they had growing up no these are parents who see worldly success so promisingly within reach that they become not only greedy for it but feel themselves robbed of it at any point at which they get less of it than they expect reply kidsntow january 14 2013 at 11 31 am david i really connected with your children of the code segment the interviews were wonderful i could go back to many references to processing speed but that would take me too much time to ask about specific interviewees expressions what can specifically be done to help my child with their coding issue as in processing speed sub score on wisc iv which is percentile at 5 his vocabulary is 93 our son actually has very good comprehension even with the holes in the text he is able to read he remarkably is able to figure out answers and is a good test taker because of this ability but he will even tell you that he skims because he cannot read it all and it is easier for him to focus his mind on words he knows and make assumptions about the content than to read comprehensively and try to figure out the jumble his struggles with reading spelling and his greatest struggle writing have persisted throughout his schooling currently he is in 6th grade he has had extensive remediation more importantly we have shared with him his great strengths and his core weakness s at this point the shame factor is somewhat controlled by our unwavering and unquestioned stance with him and his teachers that he is in fact trying his hardest with written words that the breakdown in his processing abilities are pervasive and that we are doing all we can to find a solution to this in the mean time we are quite clear that he can learn other ways which are just as valid as reading to gather information at school he maintains high grades but we know he suffers daily from not being able to read spell or write with out tremendous frustration and concentration and effort i really admire what he is able to accomplish even when it is generally illegible he reads a novel every week or two using bookshare and he loves to read this way text to voice what are your thoughts on his processing speed and what can we do to help build this area or is it set and fixed it seems to be the common denominator in his persistent inability to code and encode what are your thoughts on digital text that allows him access to books by way of text to speech what specific ideas do you have to adjust the learning environment to avoid the shame factor these kids experience reply learning activist january 14 2013 at 2 44 pm hello robbi thank you for sharing you and your son s situation with me ben is very fortunate to have such a carefully learning oriented mother to your questions what are your thoughts on his processing speed and what can we do to help build this area or is it set and fixed it seems to be the common denominator in his persistent inability to code and encode yes the brain machinery of reading must operate at or above a certain speed threshold or it just doesn t work yet remember that speed is relative to processing efficiency the worse the processing efficiency the greater the speed required for any given time critical processing task using a computer analogy you might say that the user s experience of a machine s performance can be made more fluidly responsive by increasing the speed of the hardware or by increasing the efficiency of the software involved in processing i often suggest ping pong and the simon game getting better at ping pong exercises the speed of attention though more motoric it is still exercising visual attentional tracking and unconscious decision making the simon game exercises auditory discrimination and auditory memory and stretches both into greater speed you could use a number of other board and card games and add a rapid naming component to how they are played similar to eye spy you could engage in naming as many things as possible while out for a drive things the car is passing by quickly fastforward and other neuroplasticity science based products are also designed to exercise discrimination speed and memory though i appreciate the science principles in play in the design of such products i don t have enough unbiased opinions about their effectiveness to recommend them see processing distinctions and all the speed points in the brain s challenge chapter and the video note from me about how the reading stream constructed simulated language stream must move at a pace approximating the speed the brain is accustomed to understanding spoken language in addition to boosting underlying processing speed the other area to explore is processing errors for that you d have to a good understanding of his high frequency mistakes and then use exercises that isolate and vivify his processing errors while providing him with real time corrective feedback as a prop for learning to cue him through his errors try this open to the cues if you try this please share your thoughts what are your thoughts on digital text that allows him access to books by way of text to speech potentially addictive yet probably necessary training wheels i would certainly use them to help compensate for his reading inefficiency so he doesn t fall behind in his classes everywhere possible i would have him read along with what he is listening to i also recommend contextualizing the use of these as temporary conveniences you don t want to demotivate learning to read what specific ideas do you have to adjust the learning environment to avoid the shame factor these kids experience the learning environment must be careful with shame stewards parents teachers and other involved adults should help children contextualize their emotional experience of the challenge of learning to read in a way that minimizes their propensity for self blame generally speaking everyone family educators peers need to learn about how learning disabling shame can be and become more careful with how they prompt it thanks robbi good luck and please so share more as you go forth learning to steward the health of your son s learning david reply carlos may 8 2014 at 9 33 pm no email to write to you my comment is for the experts in education not for all readers reply learning activist may 9 2014 at 8 48 am you can email us through our contacts page reply james riley january 26 2021 at 8 37 am learning activist i love what you are doing but i think you have left out a significant portion of the population by focusing exclusively on children in a educational setting i believe the greatest educational setting is the home where mother father and siblings are the major teachers do we eliminate them from the educational system or include them in the process i suggest we start with the recipients of our passed ignorance the primary caretakers of a new generation parents in order to insert a missing piece of a healthy human environment experiment reply learning activist january 27 2021 at 8 48 am we couldn t agree more about the home have you seen magic ladder s home and family portal https mlc learningstewards org parents or any of the comments from parents https bit ly 3opb9f3 we ve also developed a parental learning event designed to help parents reorient how they learn into stewarding their children s learning if you are interested in collaborating along these lines let us know thanks reply james riley january 31 2021 at 1 15 pm hi my comments are about more then simply the home although it includes the home my comments are more about the individual living environment in which a person grows and develops particularly the environment created by mother and father each of whom grew up in a separate and different environment it seems in my initial reading your philosophy and programs are more oriented towards children at the beginning school level and their ability inability to read and learn you do not seem to be talking to adults parents about the causes of the ability inability to read and learn i believe their stewardship is contingent upon this knowledge but maybe your parental learning event designed to help parents reorient how they learn is what i m talking about i have not seen enough of this program to understand what is included or how it addresses my ideas and concerns thank you for listening i appreciate the conversation jim reply learning activist january 31 2021 at 1 55 pm thanks jim we seem kindred we are very concerned with the healthiness of everyone s learning or better said reducing the unhealthy learning that perpetuates so many human crises have a look at the keys pages in the menu bar to get a sense of our breadth we focus on children s reading as it exemplifies so many misconceptions about learning in general and because it s a fulcrum for change but we are concerned with so much more also the broader
