As we conclude the Logic of English teachers training, I want to present to you some of the exciting research that has been done on literacy.

This research, I think, will help you to understand how vital this knowledge is to our society

and to changing how reading is taught.

First of all, I was presented with information about longitudinal studies that have been done about reading education in the United States.

Now, longitudinal studies include thousands and thousands of students.

This slide was shared with me by Dr. Readline,

one of the leading experts in reading education and a professor of neurology at Southern Methodist University.

This slide shows us some studies that have been done, and on the left side you'll see the researcher's name,

then you'll see the number of hours of instruction as well as how many students were in those classes

or in those groups.

After that you'll see a column showing the number of students reading below the 30th percentile before instruction,

and you'll notice that it's about 30 % of students.

In the final column, you will see that there can be dramatic changes in as little as 80 hours of systematic instruction.

Now, I believe that all students in the United States have the right to learn to read.

I believe that it is a basic skill and

that we should be teaching reading from the beginning at the earliest ages

so that everyone can master it and everyone can go on and to succeed in school.

There's also been some additional studies that are very exciting.

Functional MRI studies are done where a student is reading in an MRI machine, and what they can track is blood flow and oxygenation.

What they have found is that students who are struggling readers are using the front right side of their brain.

Students who are strong readers are using the back left side of their brain primarily.

Now, the back left side of the brain is called Broca's area, and this area is the same areas we used for speaking and for listening.

It is our speech areas.

There's also a little bit of activity in strong readers in the visual sections.

What they have found is that when struggling students are taught systematically how the language works,

phonograms, rules, how to read when they're actually instructed in reading and not just left to guess,

that in as little as 80 hours of systematic instruction, not only do their test scores go up, not only do they become better readers,

their brains go to look like that of strong readers.

And this is really remarkable and incredibly encouraging.

It means that for struggling readers, usually there is nothing organically wrong with them.

It means that this is probably just a teaching issue.

The way that student has been taught has not made sense to them.

Now, I asked a leading researcher this after I heard him speak.

I asked him, what is the brain doing

when it is using the front right side of their brain of the struggling readers?

What is that about?

And the researcher said he didn't know, but what they do know is that area of the brain is higher order thinking and visual centers.

And it immediately connected to me that what I had been teaching many, many years ago were reading strategies.

I was told to tell students that if they didn't know a word, they should reread the passage.

If they still didn't know, they should reread a little farther back.

If they still didn't know, they should look at pictures.

And if they still didn't know, they should go on.

These students were taught to guess.

And that is what a lot of students in our schools think that reading is it's about guessing.

And so it's no wonder they're using higher order thinking areas of their brain.

When we teach them the sounds and the phonograms, we make connections to the auditory parts of the language

and they're able to transition and see

that the written language is all about something that someone could have or might have spoken.

It's the stories and the words.

It's auditory communication in a visual form.

It's also exciting to know that the brain can be rewired through explicit teaching.

We don't have to feel hopeless.

There is hope.

As we conclude this training course,

I want to talk about the findings of the National Reading Panel and how they relate to the logic of English.

The National Reading Panel identified five strands of reading instruction that are essential to developing strong readers and spellers.

The first is phonemic awareness.

You'll notice that in this training we dealt with phonemic awareness in depth and I provided you ideas.

Many, many students are stuck at this level and it is vital that teachers understand it.

This course is also delved deeply into systematic phonics.

That is really what the logic of English is about.

It's about how the language works on a linguistics level.

We've also talked extensively about vocabulary development and morphology and how to develop a student's vocabulary.

The fourth area that the National Reading Panel identified was fluency.

Now fluency is very important, but you'll notice that we did not talk about it in this training.

I'd like to give you a few tips right now on developing fluency.

The biggest way that we can develop fluency in students is practice.

Lots of practice.

First, we practice having them read words, then phrases, then sentences, then books.

Have those students read aloud.

Have them read the same passage aloud multiple times and work on fluency.

There is not a lot of magic to developing fluency other than lots and lots of practice.

And practice that builds from easier contexts to more and more difficult contexts.

The fifth area is reading comprehension.

Now reading comprehension is vital to the success of students in learning how to read.

However, I did not address reading comprehension in this training video.

I'd like to say that reading comprehension should be taught systematically.

We need to teach students how to find the main idea.

We need to teach them how to infer.

We need to teach students the strategies for comprehension, and this is really vital for students who struggle with auditory processing.

Those students will need a lot of help helping to understand how texts are organized and how to better comprehend them.

However, the reason I did not spend time on that in this training series is one, it's beyond the scope of the series,

and two, I really believe that many of the problems

that we have in our society with reading is because we start here.

I know many kindergarten programs that began on day one or day two with reading instruction with reading comprehension.

And we forget that the first four parts build into the skills needed to learn the skills for reading comprehension.

So you can watch from the logic of English in the future.

There'll be more information for you on reading comprehension, but I really want to focus teachers

and parents' attention to the foundational building blocks of reading that build up to this stage.

I also want to give parents and teachers a little tip.

Many of our nation's students are struggling, and those students, as we have said, experience tremendous amounts of shame in regards to reading.

Learning the rules and the phonograms can transform lives.

It can transform how students read.

But to be honest, the most difficult part of teaching a student who's struggling how to read is getting beyond the emotional barrier.

And so I'd like to talk to you about a few things

that you can do if you have an older student who is struggling.

First of all, I really encourage you to guard their hearts.

Do that by helping them to understand that it's not their fault.

I know that one of my children was struggling and he couldn't read at the beginning of third grade,

100

and that is part of how I discovered the logic of English.

101

But there was a day when I had to go to him and I had to say to him,

102

I am really sorry that you were taught in a way that didn't make sense to you.

103

And I have since learned some things that I believe will be really helpful to you.

104

In that conversation, it was really neat to see that the weight came off and he began to go,

105

you know, you're right, it didn't make sense to me.

106

And he began to internalize it as something that was mistaught rather than something that he had done wrong.

107

Now, I want to be careful here because teachers

108

and parents too often internalize a lot of shame and responsibility themselves in this situation,

109

but I want you to understand you cannot teach what you do not know.

110

So if this is new information to you, just be thankful that you have it and move forward

111

and understand that there's nothing you can do about being able to teach something that you didn't know in the first place,

112

but you can become part of transformation.

113

The next suggestion I have for you with those struggling students is to not torture read.

114

Now, sometimes I share this with public schools and I've actually had teachers gasp when I explain what I mean by this.

115

So just hold your breath if you're a public school teacher or a teacher who might be shocked.

116

But if you have a student in third, fourth, fifth grade, or an older student who is struggling with reading,

117

I would ask you to stop having that student read aloud

118

or requiring them to read texts until you have taught them the rules and phonograms.

119

You can teach the rules and phonograms to students in four to eight weeks of intensive instruction.

120

And what you do is you give

121

that student's heart a little bit of time to.. heal a little bit of time to stop wrestling

122

so much and then you provide them the tools so

123

that they can read well and Then you present them texts again

124

and now when they have a text in front of them that they're struggling with you can say oh

125

Here's the C is before an E So what is it going to say

126

and it's going to relate to the rules and the answers

127

that they have been taught and in this way they can move forward.

128

And I just challenge you to think, you know, if they have been struggling for three, four, five, six years,

129

taking a few weeks off from reading texts and trying to comprehend them is not going to hurt them.

130

It's not going to impede their development.

131

Rather, spend that time learning the rules and the phonograms.

132

If the Logic of English teachers training videos have changed how you think about language,

133

And if you believe that this is part of the solution to changing the literacy crisis in the English -speaking world,

134

I encourage you to join us in becoming part of the solution.

135

I encourage you to tell your neighbors and your friends the spelling rules that are most exciting and interesting to you.

136

It might sound terribly geeky to go to your neighbor and say that, I learned that English words don't end in V,

137

therefore I need to add a silent final E.

138

But until everybody knows this information, we as a nation and as a culture are going to struggle with reading and spelling.

139

We have to change the misconception that English is illogical and impossible and full of exceptions,

140

and we're only going to do this when all of us take responsibility for educating those around us.

141

I'd encourage you also to share the information that you've learned on social media,

142

to work on Facebook and Twitter and all the different avenues that you have,

143

blogs, write reviews of uncovering the logic of English, share these videos.

144

You can become part of social change and you can become part of reversing the literacy crisis in this generation.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
