HI... if you are here. you have conquered the amazing skill of learning to read!
Your brain puts sounds and letters together, your amazing memory stores up trillions of sound bites / linked to visual collections of lines and... Voila you have opened a door to the most crazy opportunities. You can follow stories, understand feelings, open yourself to the work, fill in forms, work out when you are being scammed!
What happens if you cant read? That door is shut. You rely on other ways of navigating the work. Picures, sounds, tick-tock, instagram. One day AI will be able to read for you, in any language but at what cost?
When is the BEST time to learn to read. When you brain is young and like a sponge soaking up knowledge.
That doesn't make it easy though! Probably partly due to all those new connections that the tiny nerves are making to link things together but also maybe because there is less demands on concentration.
Concentration, language, interpretation of letters, family support ALL impact how well you read BUT it is one of the biggest skills to take you through life to achieve the best that you can be! Neurodiversity does not stop people from running the work... but reading does !
Dzingi knows this. As a teacher and now supporting 1 to 1 reading in early years he knows that there are amazing little people who will have to struggle more than they need to succeed in life / careers / choices simply because they cannot master basic reading. Supported by GYUP and his Primary School colleagues he is offering for free in his own time hourly sessions in the holldays.
Come read with Dzingi with members of GYUPs support. Stay for tea/ coffee and maybe even a cake (yum. thank you Julie for home made jam tarts) take a little time to slow down, pick up a book and create a golden opportunity for your children to shine when they go back to school.
The first event was run at Primeyarc (thanks to Original Projects) on Dec 21. We enjoyed it and our 2 attendees stunned us with their skill and vocabulary. There is a place for everyone... .great super-readers come and help another child along the journey! EVERYONE welcome let's all be ready to take on the world.
