David Boulton	5	6	4	7	9	4	4	5	4	5	7	5	5	9	5	5	5	5	8	4	5	8	8	This recent post uses a video of Jordan Peterson speaking about the importance of reading and teaching reading to make the case that the existing paradigms of reading (Science of Reading) should be superseded by a model based on learning to read online words. Changing how the internet supports the process of learning to read is not only relevant to children with "special needs" it's relevant to 10 times (ish) as many children. https://learningstewards.org/jordan-peterson-reading/

I will be in a very intense front-end development program from May 8th - November 17th and will do my best to attend meetings, but it is very unlikely that I will be able to contribute in a substantive way until after the program is finished.
