“IF THE FACTS DON’T ‘FIT THE THEORY,’ CHANGE THE FACTS!”

ALBERT EINSTEIN

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

“The Secret Stories”

 IT IS A ‘FACT’ THERE IS NO ‘INHERENT-MEANING’ IN OUR LANGUAGE WITH REGARD TO THE

‘PHONEMIC LETTER-PATTERNS AND THE SOUNDS THEY MAKE,’ AND IT IS ALSO A ‘FACT’

THAT WITHOUT A MEANINGFUL EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE LETTERS AND SOUNDS

ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY DO, ‘READING WILL REMAIN A CONSTANT STRUGGLE FOR

LEARNERS, AS WELL AS TEACHERS...BUT, BY FOLLOWING ‘EINSTEIN’S LOGIC,’ THE

SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM BECOMES CLEAR!!

WE SIMPLY ‘CHANGE THE FACTS!’ So……“POOF!!”(I just did it!)

Now there are ‘perfectly-logical explanations’ as to WHY letters and letter-patterns

in our language make the sounds that they do!

It’s because: They’re ‘in-love’ like ‘au/aw’………or ‘sneaky’ like ‘y’……..

or maybe they are just ‘really-bad-drivers’ like ‘er/ir/ur’……

BUT WHATEVER THEY ARE, THEY DO WHAT THEY DO FOR A REASON!

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

WOW!

Now that the ‘FACTS HAVE CHANGED’ reading has become so SIMPLE!

 NO MORE- “It just IS,  It just DOES, You just have to REMEMBER!"

NOW I CAN JUST TELL THEM ‘WHY!’

“A student can't think 'OUTSIDE THE BOX, until they first understand WHAT'S IN IT!”

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
 

 

Katie Garner earned her undergraduate degree from The Juilliard School in Voice and Language Studies, and a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education/ Reading.    She is a nationally-recognized   speaker, author, and reading-consultant, best-known for incorporating ‘up-to-date’ and cutting-edge research models on Learning and Instruction into district, state and national Standards and Curriculum.

 

Katie’s unique and educational background, combined with almost twenty years of teaching experience is the perfect catalyst   for her ‘thinking outside the box’ approach to critical reading-skill acquisition.

 

Her  Institute  presentations at the annual Learning and the Brain Conference, sponsored through joint-cooperation of  the Harvard, Yale,  and Cornell University Graduate Departments of Education   and  Neuroscience  provide  an  ‘ideal  forum’  for Katie’s innovative, yet ,  practical  classroom-applications  and strategies  derived from  latest neuro-scientific research on ‘Learning and the Brain.’

 

Having gained national-recognition for her work with both the ‘No Child Left Behind’  and the ‘Reading First’  Initiatives, Katie continues to work with school districts throughout the country to align traditional Reading Curriculum and  Instruction  with scientifically-based research models depicting exactly ‘how  our brains learn best!’'

The SECRET STORIES are intended for use as a 'supportive' foundational-base to any existing reading series, language curriculum, or phonics practice series, underscoring critical phonemic-skill acquisition for ALL learners, as its  'secrets' are based on “how our brains actually learn best!”
