"The Code and the
Challenge of Learning to Read it"
"It’s a wonderful thesis and it's so refreshing to hear you articulate it because I guess I am in total agreement with it and I have not really heard people articulate it as clearly you have... I love what you are doing." - Dr. Louisa Moats, Sopris West

“The National Center for Family Literacy is thrilled to be involved in an effort of this nature that drives at the importance of understanding the reading difficulties so many people face.” - Sharon Darling, Founder and President, The Nation Center for Family Literacy
The National Center for Family Literacy and the Children of the Code Project are cooperating to provide educational seminars to communities across America. During the Fall of 2004 through the Spring of 2005 the producers of the project will travel to approximately twenty-five cities and present The Code and the Challenge of Learning to Read It, a 3-hour seminar. The seminar weaves Children of the Code documentary interview clips and multimedia content into an exciting and perspective-shifting learning experience designed to help teachers, parents, literacy volunteers, counselors, justice workers and all who care for children develop a deeper first-person understanding of the mental and emotional challenges involved in learning to read.
" What I like about Children of the Code is that it is more than talk - it is an effort to bring about change." - Veteran Teacher

The Children of the Code is a social educatio
n project. The mission of the project is to catalyze and resource a reformation in how our society thinks about the "code" and the "challenges involved in learning to read it."The project has three major components:
- A three hour Public Television documentary series;
- A ten-hour college, university, and professional development DVD series;
- A series of teacher and parent presentations and seminars.
Each has five major themes:
- The history of the code and its effects on the world around and within us;
- The cognitive, emotional, academic, and social challenges involved in learning to read;
- How the structure of the code effects learning to read it;
- What the brain- sciences are teaching us about learning and reading;
- How teachers and parents can help their children learn to read better.
