I need to talk about the big picture read and death but we love had not to communicate that is one thing that we can agree on right we just allowed to communicate to pictures and stories while from the drawings found in the case of Indonesia some fifty years ago that are about for two thousand years old to our modern iPhones in smart phones that we take
pictures from we just not a good pitcher and enough to communicate from the Samaritans just do what sounds so the Greeks and the Romans right insisted we just didn't just want to communicate so but before I talk about the big picture come with me we're going in a Jerry hop aboard the imaginary machine we are going to the queen of the Indies the land of the
palm in the tree ferns the prime of the pudding Caribbean Sea where there let's Eisenbach who walked with me at the side of the mountain although the tall green tree when the mantle green No Way no wait with that the top of the mountain that was a but let's go this way what a beautiful stone wall listen listen can you hear it any parent I %HESITATION

pasta Jack you're the right for a night you know eight that child born out of wedlock was considered a bastard child well this is a story no it's not because his son Ivan and is busted stuns Ralph I said boy that wants to go across the mountain about four miles away wants to bring me back that force don't write what no horse back well of course

read a little bit but you married a woman and he had two beautiful children you decided to take his wife I'm still goes the country and built a house and he made sure that that house was filled with books he was going to educate his children yeah we're going to bring that's man that bastard child is my father Julius fast I turns habit and I went
to school it was time to go to school and three in one year I made it through three grades on the third grade my teacher said to me and I can remember that day then at your spelling is atrocious that being a woman I think it is a sad that's an embarrassment opponents that would easily into a scar that I was kind of to life wondering
how would I will become and that same class there was a boy I haven't seen that oh yes he could draw it could really throw I learned to draw all from this young man but he couldn't read and when he was asked to read aloud it's not often teachers did not know about it and I felt that I knew how that felt and I was going
to make a difference well I did weddings primary school exceptionally well and I went on to high school and that one my way to school every morning in I would pick my book out my dictionary and I was going to learn a word every day I know it is next to those words what symbols symbols funky looking things upside down V. backward see Washu and I
was curious what what what are the things anyway I graduated from high school and I went to college still want to read a spell data I made a I took speed reading glasses I did all the wrong semester after semester but for me I really didn't want that job it wasn't a joy I graduated and I went on to Florida State University and I studied audiology
and speech pathology I worked with the human mind the break I understood that we communicated all the functionality sees I would hear someone presents information and yes I figured out what bill funding bill Simone's why they weren't international phonetic alphabet I think only on the teachers could know what these water and were able to give it to their children and their children in high school and
knew what they were they would be able to read and spell of collapse but you know I was going to do different so I position myself into the public school my first job California dressed with elementary school they're the children had John look aphasia that meant that they had an injury to the upgrade this is Andrew affected the area of language that meant that they were
not going to process reader writes that and then we're going to have behavior problems and as well as attention deficit okay well and I wonder if I have questions did the boy who fell off the voice and childhood aphasia what was the diagnosis of the not the help that had some but not in my class and not what is the problem of auditory conceptualization at problem
of prophecy and making the precise judgement as to where a sound is in a word well that was one place in their houses my kid on your husband took his wife and two children to the Cayman Islands and we built the house and the house I made sure that my parents were going to be educated they were going to be able to read spell and have
come mounds of the English language while I got the job and I wonder to myself how amazing just like my dad yet was going to educate my kids and how family teachers and the environment can't shake the life of a child I got a job in the school system work in a speech and language pathologist looking at children language and speech and I discovered that the
picture yes and not to make a likely the communications system that has been done by a great many people that we can communicate read and write but there are seven hundred and seventy five million people you know blah today that cannot read and write and do more and maybe just maybe we can make a difference one little difference can you remember coming to the top of
the mountain and hearing them did you make an imaginative picture in your mind off this sound you heard I bet you all did I did you take just defeat and associated it with the sound no you didn't did you just take a part of that and bomb the T. L. it associated with the sound I bet you did and did you just think they have made
to run on and maybe association off they don't then picked packed in your mind no you did you form the pitch up the whole kat in your mind when I made that sound what this is what tradition bound region of god for us it has taken the sounds and we have twenty six letters of the alphabet and forty four sounds that he was in our interest
and what we have done is we give children a little bit yeah you grade one and we give little kids the kids in grades one on a set of sounds the same sound but different symbols and we wait till grade six that give them the rest of it but we expect them to read by angry for now I will show you what I'm talking about how
did Jay locates day did just as right but before I get into it I wondered that too or pretended you were in grade why and over here we got Jack and then we've got a joint and then we've got Roger now Jack is going to jump up and down and said day begins my name my name begins a day it makes it sound yeah and he
is also proud now it will take bought a little dog to say my name begins made just to because she did I July is not being taught and here we are in grade three okay now for the original began he's never going to know what the U. proud like Jack that his name have the sound chip in it because he's not going to be told that
teaching makes a sound until until he's in grade six now how do we expect them to read my grade for politely few doesn't own sound associated with the symbols we are being taught from we are blowing a B. C. D. they sing it to what's what's good is ABC we don't not speak with ABC that's the one I'm going to say to you W. T. N.
Andoh T. H. I. into geo I N. G. R. I G. H. the deal and the FD we make the association with sound the only time we don't let that is well we don't want our kids to know what we said what I have a story I want to share with you most recently a young lad hands so not what I meant when I was seven
years so he wanted into my office with his mom and I couldn't really he doesn't he draws very laugh deja vu but now I had the big picture and I was going to share it with him so I ask you I said to him one day SF now here is a job that you just symbol that here is a list of words I want you to
draw the picture often just symbols in this speech afraid while I want you color eight no I did telling my one caller said to me mom and high power unit I since such in the UK caller ID is that how can I put it anyhow I want cross in the picture frame at six thirty and you can drawing to any how you want to and so
he gave me this beautiful picture I said to him now can I show it to the people I'm going to talk to he said yes I said but I need your mom permission he said she don't have to give you permission I can give your permission is my picture I joined sweetheart I'm going to tell the new Congress and he said that's okay yeah I'm going
to teach me to read and I'm going to read and he took my breath away and is that later on tomorrow when I come back can I find a legacy boats in the words and I go wow yes you certainly can you have done a bully we are going to read now if the boy if I don't the voice had nits would it make a difference
if the boy who was in my class when I was seven years old just like his handsome lad that I am now teaching what do you make a difference I'm sure it what it makes a difference in my life well the journeys over we must return hop aboard imaginary machine IGN back and before I go allow me to tell you how happy I am to have
discovered the big picture and to have designed a program that will change the life of children one that will dole it challenges the status quo I think it is a logical and I wonder why it's not the norm and instead of pain sadness embarrassment and skies the patents rely it brings joy and happiness and even allow a child to someone saw I read for it I
