Teaching Every Child to Read and to Write with NO Child Left Behind

174 D-Talks have now been given by speakers from 20 or so different countries. Bob is the only one of the 173 D-Talk speakers to be invited to give a second talk.

Bob's first talk was presented on a Wednesday at 11:00 AM IST and had an initial viewership of only a handful of people. Since that time, however, Bob's video has become the most watched of all the 174 D-Talk presentations, with more than three times as many viewer as the second most watched video. Bob's second talk is now the third most watched video and steadily moving towards being number-two.

The title of Bob's first D-Talk was Teaching Every Child with No Child Left Behind and Letting Teachers be Teachers. The curriculum that was the focus of that talk was mathematics. This time it's reading.

The people watching his reading presentation live could submit questions for Bob to answer at the end of his talk. Viewers of this video may email any questions they may have to Bob at reading@center.edu

Questions
01:27:49 Most of my students can read. Can I just use the kit for the ones who cannot?
01:29:44 Why does the Dekodiphukan book have two different names as Authors?

01:26:33 What happened to the kit the Center sent to India?
