Educators in Dakota County:

Thank you in advance for reading this introduction. This website provides tools to help deliver 100% of the children ready to read starting in kindergarten. The idea is to raise designated new money for many new deliveries of the early reading skill gift on this website for you and yours.
New Money – New Deliveries are the key words for education. We are asking business to start giving new money for new deliveries. The letter we are using has been attached FYI. The community must deliver 100% of the children ready to read as they start kindergarten to set up the next investments for growth. It will require the leadership from those who have the money. We ask you to:

1. Opt in for a gift at http://www.usavalues-character.org/ This site creates new money for the delivery of Early Reading Skills (ERS) as you position the need with the parents. In your positioning, you may also fund your character education program to the extent it is based on messages, stories and literature. Or, just take what is on the site for your use with other programs. Early reading skills and character education are both personal and important.

2. Raise awareness of your parents who have younger children to be certain they care about ERS for their child, and importantly, the children they will go to school with.
a. We have a fund raising kit that highlights this awareness
b. We have fun and respectful materials to prompt the discussion and the money
c. We have a reading kit built from the Montessori Method designed for one-on-one delivery in the home by parents, adults, and others
d. We help you have parties that focus on new money for ERS and Character
e. We have economic activity to fund raise for school groups (grades 8-12) under proper supervision

This should be fun, not a chore because giving is the start of all growth. This outcome will only happen with new deliveries to the most at-risk.

Sincerely

Thomas D. Wolfgram
Executive Director

PS.

Start with an end in mind

Thank you for continuing to read this letter. I have attached a public service announcement made to 31,000 households in late January, and the letter sent to 1000+ businesses, all in Northern Dakota County. You will see That CDP is supportive of K-12 education believing the gap in achievement is actually created by a lack of giving Early Reading Skills to age 3-6 children; along with the attention to civility grace and opportunity. Other letters to editors of our local papers can be viewed and commented on at; http://chardevelactivity.blogspot.com/ .

It is a start

It is wonderful that society now delivers half of the children ready to read or already reading in kindergarten because of the gift given to each by an adult. That has raised the standard. We now must give the individual gift to 100% of the children if we expect 100% engagement and proficiency in elementary school.
We wish to provide the tools without reference to present segmentations of teaching, providing tools for adults delivering the gift so 100% of the children can't miss the road to success. We do not wish to separate the child from their significant adult so a one on two mentor role is in order that focuses on the child’s language acquisition. In many cases a full mentor is not needed. Principals and teachers have told us that we can help the most by equalizing the learning skills of the children who start school.

Ironically, this is likely the public schools most often requested, most reliable, most demonstrated solution to accountability. When 100% of the children have near equal exposure to language acquisition and learning through age 6; the schools work with less difference from the norm; and children have “equal” starts. Parents must be further supported in delivering ready to read children.


No conclusion until 100% “equal” starts are delivered each year without intervention MAKE SURE THE RIGHT PROCESSES ARE BEING COMPLETED ON A FIRST THINGS FIRST BASIS. RIGHT THE FIRST TIME TO MAKE QUALITY FREE.

Taxpayers would like to think it would just get done. Between government and schools they want to see the new money to do it. But, 50% of the population already deliver the gift because it is natural and important to the child’s success. Segments oppose each other without regard to the child’s success. Now it is clear, it is important to society’s success; this site accommodates the payer and delivery without reference to segments. Leadership always finds a way to make priority the focus. This site keeps the priority flexible and deliverable for the effective citizen leadership, one-size-fit-one. .

ALSO!

This is a development to deliver the Ultimate Character of the Community.
The unique definition of how to position your program as close as possible to
one-size-fits-one Early Reading Skill (ERS) Delivery is Your Opportunity.

We welcome Your Program expansion, in any form,
covering age 3-6 children reading skills.

This is very important, so please take an
important position with your development and challenge.

Each program leader is uniquely gifted to define what more can be done. USA VALUES-CDP can offer the store, shopping cart, and the gift certificate for public charity support.
A related communications company offers free Language Translations Sticker Sheets
to jumpstart the interest in the Public Service Message

The notification to the public of all your programs
designed to actually deliver the ERS skills is part of the
monthly Public Service Message as it expands

In our opinion every program that touches age 3 to grade 3 children
should include this Public Service Message, more delivery of ERS,
and any supporting materials needed by adults and teachers.

The whole idea is to deliver 100% of the children to kindergarten ready to read as defined by the public schools. A solid truthful new start gives parents, adult volunteers, childcare workers and teachers self correcting, language respecting, courtesy supporting fun materials.

The added sense of urgency about the
Age 3-6 Sensitive Period to Learning Language Skills
can help close in on 100% delivery in the urban community.

Call Tom Wolfgram for your program’s inclusion in the next flyer-- 612-968-1579
