Ultimate Character Education Network
Delivery of early reading skills is a Critical Gift. Without this Gift, all children are behind before they start kindergarten. The Gift, Only an individual gift delivers early reading skills at age 2, 3, 4 and 5. This gift is the key to opportunity. It is society’s best (effective and lowest cost) approach to preparing the most at-risk to want opportunities, choices and engagement.See also http://www.usavaluescoupons.com

A base premise would guide us (say 100 words) to agree on collaborations worthy of combined giving and delivery efforts. Lets draft this premise from the following start:
The Truth Without the gift of Early Reading Skills all children are behind before they even start kindergarten.
The Gift Only an individual gift delivers early reading skills at age 3, 4 and 5. This gift is the key to opportunity. It is society’s best (effective and lowest cost) approach to preparing the bottom half of the bottom half (poorest of the poor) to want the opportunities, choices and engagement.
The Focus When 100% of the children start kindergarten ready to read English the urban school has the resources to meet the Adequate Yearly Progress Requirement of No Child Left Behind. The principal is vested in 100% of the children starting kindergarten ready-to-read.
Discussion Many important citizen league issues are addressed when the community commits to giving the gift of early literacy, one-size-fits-one, to its collective self. The gift is ethical, moral, proven economic, and better than an expansion of government.
Pre-K Child Development (ready-to-read)
Fewer Special Education Needs
School Performance and Accountability
Urban Race Relations, and Segregated School Populations
Urban Generational Poverty
Urban Economic Development (make a 16% internal rate of return investment)
Our society has never prepared 100% of the children in urban areas to start kindergarten ready-to-read. This is a new NCLB legal requirement, and it is being addressed as if it is an old process, that requires a turnaround instead of a investment that requires new foundations. SO BE IT, rise to the challenge the fastest by positively facilitating exactly this simple new requirement within the urban community. In fact, the individual gift giving networks (Ultimate Character Networks), giving early literacy to the poorest of the poor, created as extensions of the public schools, will deliver the “wiggle room” needed in turnaround budgets. Leaders need to see the gift as a first things first – quality is free - investment. It is a private investment for a public return. Education needs to ask for the gift for the poorest of the poor children through the voice of the powerful effective citizen. The urban elementary school principal's network to the community is also the urban capacity to sustain any improvements over 10-20 years or longer. This gift-giving network is also the link to the social return and payback.

Well you are right. But for me that was 50 years ago. Prosperity has driven this change. Everything related to opportunity is faster and earlier. 50% of the children have adults who deliver early reading skills faster and earlier. Kids are actually wired to receive them much earlier than our government and schools thought 50, 25 and even 5 years ago. It is important so it is not to much to ask our effective citizens, and the almighty business dollar to lead the government and the schools past the gap on a fast as possible basis. When we get this done we will be special and growthy and prosperity will continue.
