I’ve had a strong emotional reaction to this claim of being able to teach any 2y/o to read at a 2nd grade level. I support pursuing incredible things but don’t understand how you can believe in the heritability of iq and this, too. How much of these results are selection effects?

I did a course on development during my psych degree and it was learning about what is the appropriate age to learn XYZ There are physical limitations like the standard 2 yr olds tongue is not physically developed yet so they can’t talk I would be interested to know how they overcome some of these limitations

Well ok. In honesty I was this early reader, which also adds bias to my view. my mom told me that as a a pre verbal baby if someone went to read to me and the book was upside down, I would “fix it”. I don’t know, however, how you transform that into an edu approach. I believe reading is my God given gift 😬

It upsets me @samantha because parents care so much about their kids. To claim this and not deliver for every child—I would both feel defrauded and like my child is broken. I hate this so much

I understand. It does seem grifty considering the website is a bit vague and the huge assertions. I hope parents are able to do their due diligence and decide what’s best for their kids too. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
