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.

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.

Thomas D. Wolfgram

Looking for investors in Early Reading Skills Delivered.
If I were one of the 290 multi-national companies who repatriated over 300 Billion Dollars with a tax savings to my shareholders of (over 29%) 87 Billion Dollars I would be looking for investments that create high value jobs in the USA.
If I were a manufacturing company and given the 2004 Production Activities Expense Deduction to create lower taxes (75 Billion Dollars per year) so I could make investments in high value jobs in the USA I would also be looking for (worried about) who will actually fill the high value jobs I create.
I would not give the money away, but I would invest because I have been trusted to invest and my shareholders (ethically my primary responsibility and most influential party) are “generally everyone with a 401K” in the USA.
I would start with a considered “what if commitment” to public schools, cities and counties to pay me back if I invest in the child’s increased ability to learn.
Made simple for the economic elevator pitch: Start -- I invested in creating a local area robust sensitive language period for the most at risk age 3-6 children so that their brain synapses closed on full language content. The community and its schools and governments pay me back with a monetized return from the ROI savings being discussed. — End: I would even help them figure out a way to do it. I would even given them pro bono services to get it in place.
For example, If we squared off the territory and controlled the Early Reading Skills Delivery so they were adequate to meet the requirements of the kindergarten teachers it has been agreed there would be huge savings. Way in excess of a payback.
GEE! It sounds like our veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan would know how to do this square dance without guns, using only butter. A returning mission for the veterans of Literacy is Freedom and the Agenda of Opportunity for the World. Delivered locally by the experts already on the street fully justified within the Free Enterprise Sector of the economy. Think we could find the deliverers of the new money by engaging the moral courage of the 1.5 million veterans who have returned? You think our flat world communication systems would employ most of our war disabled vets in this campaign.
Well its just a thought, because I am not a multinational, but wait! I am the indirect stockholder in many of the best of them. I hope my broker has me invested in the best of them. How did that happen! Congress gave "me" the tax break to do the investing in my neighborhood. WOW, man it is great to be in the USA. As they say, Only in America.
Now can we just monetize that ROI commitment for the first steps.

What do you think?
The Agenda of Opportunity for Everyone
The Critical Early Reading Skills Gift Delivered to 100% of the children before starting kindergarten is a requirement that allows the public school to create the people to fill the new middle jobs. Thomas L Friedman in the 3.0 release of the World is Flat clearly starts the discussion (page 278) of the following jobs:
Collaborator…………………Adopter………………….Orchestrator
The Greens…………………..Synthesizers…………… Personalizers
Explainers…………….……..Leveragers………………..Math Lovers
Localizers……IQ’s, PQ’s and the CQ’s…Tuba players
Literacy is freedom and is the agenda of opportunity for the world.
100% community delivery allows the public school to act on the above verses recovery of those behind. The public schools wish every child’s synapses were wired with an early reading skill delivery at ages 3-6.
It is is interesting to think about the language synapses as hard wires in the brain. They naturally function as wires in the child's head because they are full of language content when they close; or they close on empty. If they close on empty the child has missed the sensitive period to learning language. This makes the child's life much more difficult and taxpayers, schools, cities and counties incur the higher cost and the failures of not doing first things first and not doing it right the first time. How many of us have heard that before.
Investors need to see the opportunity in these closings on empty. The closings on full have already been capitalized (edutainment) on.
If you think you are effective you must reconcile that brain wiring discussion and know kids age 3-6 have no say in the process. When does this knowledge create the ethical question? Generally the public schools are strong, rewiring has made them so. Just think what they could do with 100% wired kids. Give your child or grandchild a gift of untouchable prosperity and attend to the 100%. Assume help is on the way, but you could say we face a quiet creeping crisis and needed brain potential is being lost in the local fight to create the future high value USA jobs.
