Organic Phonemes and Early Literacy — (1 page summary) We established via research that 1st grade American children vary greatly in their history of word exposures with some children having experienced as little as 20 million words and some as many as 100 million. We established that 90 percent of 1st grade American children will

Deep read our 12 point research summary of the Organic Phoneme Paradigm In our exploration of the VWFA and PQS you said: “with literacy, left ventral occipitotemporal cortex becomes increasingly tuned to the visual regularities of the writing system, ranging from letters through recurring letter combinations and larger orthographic units. Proposed hierarchies move from visual features

This is a podcast conducted by Jesica Glover as a stand alone episode in “My Child Can’t Read: A Heartland Crisis”. The podcast was as recorded on 5-12-26 and was produced on behalf of the Phillips Fundamental Learning Center. The above video is the raw interview. The interview was edited and released as a

VWFA research does not directly validate PQs. What it does reveal is a neural architecture of reading that makes the kind of intervention PQs performs especially interesting. The most relevant finding is that the VWFA is not simply a photographic “whole-word recognizer.” With literacy, left ventral occipitotemporal cortex becomes increasingly tuned to the visual regularities

We are describing two realities. A tale of two language systems. One is the inside-out real life learned auditory discriminations that children non consciously make in order to bootstrap their participation in their real world language environment. The other is the outside-in abstractly analytical set of phonemic conventions linguists and orthographists have developed and reading

Shared-chat dialogues have the potential to be the most positively empowering and transformative learning service AI can provide humanity: the agentic mediation of mutually learning oriented human dialogues. I call this modality of AI, dAilogues. dAilogues are like “universal translators” that can not only bridge language, they can bridge differences in vocabulary, knowledge, skill, beliefs,

These are most of the the chats that are part of the ChatGpt Project “PreLiterate Auditory Experiences: Organic Phonemes”. They are the background chats summarized in the “12 Keys of Organic Phonemes”. They are not in order of importance or occurrence, though this set began with “English “R” Sound Variations”. I am sharing them as

You might find this interesting on two fronts. It explores the relationship between learning and agency and it also explores the biases deeply embedded in AI (and prevailing educational paradigms) that work against children learning self-agency. DB: From infancy, humans learn to extend their agency and learn to become who they become through their learned

Note: This page assumes you have reviewed enough of the Children of the Code resources to have an understanding of what reading is, why so many struggle to learn to read, and the profound consequences to individuals and to society of our continuing literacy crisis.

“Children of the Code*” is a documentary project that explores the “Code and the Challenge of Learning to Read It“. It’s based on over 100 interviews with field leading scientists and scholars (overview of interviewees, transcripts, raw videos). The series distills over 1000 hours of conversations into 130 video components organized into 10 chapters. For
