What Children Need to Learn to Read

Posted on by

The Learning Curve May 23 2011

Michelle Vallene is the author of What Children Need to Learn to Read

This is a very inspiring story of what a dedicated, loving parent can accomplish, both for herself and her child.  Michelle’s daughter who is now 19 years old was the inspiration for her to start her endeavor, develop her classes, and write her book. Her daughter was very low in reading in 2nd grade so Michelle developed the reading classes and within 6 months her daughter went up 2 grade levels in reading. Her daughter is now a freshman in college working toward an English degree with an emphasis on creative writing.

Listen to how one father helped his son overcome the barriers to learning by using the materials in our book.

This is a wonderful true story of how a young boy became enamored with a love of learning following his discovery that he could learn the meaning of words!  He became so alive with discovering the use of a dictionary that he actually wanted to get, as he put it: “All the kids in my class at school need one of these!  I’m going to buy some and give them to them.”

This week’s Learning Curve is about your child’s method and style of learning.

This week’s Learning Curve is about your child’s method and style of learning.

We each have our own method of learning—and you should allow your child to do it it’s way!  You can’t dictate this to a child.  If you try to dictate how your child should learn, you’ll crush the kid and give them losses. Similarly, you must strive to facilitate an optimum balance between cause and receipt (the child being causative versus being made to inflow from the parent/teacher) in the learning process. If you violate either of these principles you risk sending your child down through the three levels of student decline to the bottom where the child goes into failure and gives up. We also discuss the point that dyslexia may well be the mark of a higher of a higher level of natural ability . . . not the disability that conventional wisdom holds it to be!  Tune in to get this latest on what research has revealed on these important issues.

The Learning Curve, Why This Program was Created and What’s in it for You.

The Learning Curve addresses the issue that all of life is a learning curve.  Your success and that of your children depends on the ability to learn. This introductory program deals with the basic principles involved and how everyone’s natural ability to learn is too often blocked, thus leading to a failure to learn, and what you can do about it.  It’s a dirty little secret that the current educational system in America is the actual reason why, the cause, of the poor grades our kids are getting.
