What does that mean. When I was 8 I could easily read the encyclopedia and understand what it was saying, trilobites etc. It didn't change when I was 11. Maybe people can't visualize what they are reading. Before I ever went to kindergarten I vividly remember a little golden book my mom read to me and one day the words became really clear to my brain and eyes and I read it and went running through the house yelling I can read. It wasn't halting it was I read these words. Have two MS degrees from reading, synthesizing it in my own words and writing essays with cites. It's the exact same reading from the time I was small and recognized words. I am not buying this theory. Maybe some people read haltingly and don't visualize the material. Catch those people very early and keep allowing them space to read and comprehend the words. I was not reading haltingly at 11. And I am no genius. Might have to do an experiment on halting readers.

it's the parents not the schools

parents don't read to their kids, they have to multiple times per week to develop reading - this is the issue

Teachers do speak about this. They can't spend adequate time with each student as their personal tutor. We have LLM for truly excellent tutoring but parents must engage in the activity to form the habit.

During WWII 90% of functionally illiterate black recruits were taught to read at basic proficiency ( read and answer questions in this material https://archive.org/details/TM21-500/page/n67/mode/2up) in just 2 month. Blacks maybe cant advance to high levels od education but basil literacy can be taught if behind there are solid study program and enforcement of discipline and study.

It's a parenting issue, it was nothing to do with race. All races are affected by this.

Sesame Street did a lot for kids with the Alphabet - now people are making videos on ChatGPT, uploading them to Youtube as kids media - which is devoid of learning. Purely commercially driven and those unfortunate children who don't have committed parents, are often sat in front of the junk visual conveyor belt turning their brains into desolate wastegrounds.

Wrong. Take pre 20th century era when majority of population was illiterate. Parents couldn't teach their kids literacy because they couldn't read themselves. How did literacy jump up through couple generations? Kids were taught in schools how to read and write. Its that simple.

I'm personally a little bit more sanguine about this, though. I'm not sure literacy has ever really been as good as we say it was. I grew up in an extremely wealthy suburb of San Francisco in the 90s with the kids of tech and finance elites. A lot of them could barely write even back then.

Key of dealing with pupils with drastically different IQ (problem exacerbated by racial differences) is separation of classes according to their IQ. But now this idea of segregation meets autistic hysterical response as "setting colored minorities to fail"

What was the classroom size at the pre-20th century era? How does it compare today?

You seem to be describing the very first generation of readers within the impoverished economic environment. It's a very specific anthropological transition which connects largely to free access libraries (Carnegie)

>The 20th Century & Beyond: Mass literacy fully took hold following World War I and World War II. The 1920s saw the rise of the "open access" system in public libraries, where working-class readers could finally browse and choose books freely off the shelves

During the 18th century there was an emergence of the autodidact tradition.

1. Christendom is a literate Civilization because we have a divine and book based religion, Christiantiy. Designed by God. Islam's book, the Qur'an is too short to they can memorize the book, rather than learning to read. The Jewish Tanakh, diviine, was added by their demonic Talmud to not only make Judaism demonic and manmade, but also far too long for an ordinary person to learn and study. Only a person spending his whole life to it, could do it. Same with Hinduism. Even if you spend your while life reading, you can't finish all their demonic "holy" scripts. Christianity is unique.

2. Thus Christianity gave us the printing press. The Byzantine Empire was the first empire in the world with literacy in the general population. We got later in West Europe, Christendom, the first obligatory schools in Europe, both for boys and girls, and yes, it is good for the marriage and children that you have a mother able to read and thus converse with her husband like a thinking being. They primarily did it so they could read the Bible, but also expanded it for general knowledge. First time in human history.

3. No other civilization produced more books and was read by so many as Christendom. Literally hundreds of millions of times over any other civilization. There is no comparison.

Only traditional Sub-Saharan Christian nation is Ethiopia. They developed their own ancient writing, as the only negro nation in history. They had literacy, not general but an upper class. This was solely due to Christianity and no other reason.

Everything I said has been totally scrubbed from current academia and school system. They don't want us to know about our great past and how we got Blessed by Christendom, the only true religion with a living and good God.

Indeed this helps. But value of education can be installed by educational institution itself see military results in WWII. They put drill Sargent behind teacher and you WILL learn to read PRIVATE!

Those numbers are insane and fabricated. If they were true, Jewish memeflag, then every man and woman could walk through whole Africa without getting robbed, raped, killed, or scammed. But you can't, because the numbers are lies and fictions.

Of course you anti-White, anti-Christian slime are using the fake and laughable data from Gina Zurlo, pic, a rabid anti-White female steeped into Jewish Kabbalah, promoting hard the absurd idea that Christianity in the West is over, and that modern Christianity is matriarchal and Black, based on her laughable junk "science" claiming that Africa is overwhelmingly Christian. Africa is still a violent and corrupt hellhole. It's Christianity's largest mission field, and still steeped in witchcraft and paganism.

Jew Zuckerman used the same method to push atheism hard years ago. When he found a nation he liked, like Sweden, he used polls claiming that if a Swede did not go church every week, despite calling himself a Christian, and despite less than 10% of Swedes called themselves atheists, he classified them [even though they were Christian] as atheists, and pushed that Sweden was filled with 90% raging anti-Christian atheists. However, for a nation he disliked, like the officially atheist state of China, he used polls showing that even the slightest interest in horoscopes etc, then you were listed as not atheist, so according to atheist Jew Zuckerman, there were hardly any atheists in godless China. This is how moronic and intellectually bankrupt our Judeo-Masonic academia and science are. That supposed White nationalists are embracing these Jewish slimy methods, and pushing it hard on /pol/ is beyond pathetic.

You can expect an 11-year old to understand basic plot lines of "good vs bad" but not more nuanced material in which there isn't a clear villain such as historic context or legal definition.

This could explain why American political discourse is stuck on making comparison to Harry Potter and Star Wars.

There's been several studies about this and the results are the same across the board. American university students cannot comprehend advanced texts either because American education system sucks ass.

>phonics
I was unfamiliar with such a concept, so I had to look it up.
>The spelling structures for some alphabetic languages, such as Spanish, Russian and German, are comparatively orthographically transparent, or orthographically shallow, because there is nearly a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and the letter patterns that represent them.
>English is unusual because it combines deep orthography, with multiple possible sounds for many letters. This makes it among the most difficult languages in the world to learn to read. For example, the digraph ea is pronounced differently in words like beat and head, with no visual indication of which sound is intended in which word.
>unlike with most languages, there are multiple ways to spell every phoneme, and most letters also represent multiple pronunciations depending on their position in a word and the context. This is partly due to the large number of words that have been loaned from other languages throughout the history of English, without successful attempts at complete spelling reforms, and partly due to accidents of history
Holy fucking shit, English orthography is pure retardation. Now I understand better why you retards struggle to read words from other languages as if you were reciting an ancient magic spell and why spelling is a competition and not the easiest thing ever. You guys use the Latin alphabet, so why not write words roughly as they'd be written in Latin instead of random arbitrary bullshit???

Its really not hard if you're not a nigger.

Also, your understanding of linguistics is horrible. The reason for the variable readings is due to the compound nature of the modern language. It is not latin-based. It has many words and structures from many sources. That is why the English vocabulary is so large.

Using Latin letters has nothing to do with what the letters represent in reality. Mizo Hill people in India use Latin letters to write a tonal austalasian language. The letters themselves are just shapes.

No, that would be the difference between 1st grade level and being unable to read a single word. If it says 6th grade level that's clearly not that. This is like doing the reading comprehension section on the LSAT and scoring low, stuff like:

>Main Point / Primary Purpose: Asks you to summarize the author’s thesis or understand why the passage was written.

>Retrieval / Detail: Tests your ability to find and understand explicitly stated information.

>Inference: Requires you to deduce what must be true based on the premises provided in the text.

>Function and Structure: Asks you to explain why the author included a specific paragraph, sentence, or word, or how the argument is organized.

>Comparative Relationships: In the dual-passage set, questions will ask how Passage A and Passage B relate to each other (e.g., contrasting viewpoints, or principle and application).

Phonics is not about that stuff. That's the Trivium, which they suppress. Phonics is do you see a blur that means nothing to you vs do you decipher a word. It's like if morse code is just beeps to you or words. Just because you see that a word says hippopotamus doesn't mean you can summarize the author's thesis.

Correct, not real Christians. A Nigerian will say they're Christian then immediately scam or rob someone. The police will say they are Christian then "arrest" (kidnap) people for ransom. A heretic can call themselves a Christian but that does not make a heretic Christian. If it did then the Church of Satan would technically be a subsect of Christianity or Judaism.

When people use the word "literacy" today they're not talking about actual literacy. Actual literacy is grammar, logic and rhetoric, which is suppressed for the masses. There's a difference between "reading" and reading, between "literacy" and literacy. Actual literacy requires a classical education, which includes the Trivium. Hardly anyone is actually literate today. There were actually more literate people in the 19th century. Reading can be done the wrong way, the way they teach in school, just programming, or it can be done the right way, like in the image, which requires study of the Trivium. Reading without actual literacy is a waste of time and energy.

The obvious disparity between white and black students have been a problem they have been trying to fix since the 1970s in America

For a long time they simply have begun lowering the standards

Now they are dropping the education standards altogether

Its not that Americans are idiots

So they just drag down whites with them
as is the standard across the board
Niggers always drag you down with them

>Its really not hard if you're not a nigger.
I agree. I can read English as fast as I can read Portuguese and Spanish. However, I believe that an inconsistent orthography does decrease the overall literacy of a population.
In English, there's actually no way to accurately guess how a word is pronounced without reading its transcription or having heard it before in real life (women = "wimin"??? So why not simply write wimin?).
Languages should be intuitive. For example, there's no need to obsess about teaching "phonics" to Brazilian kids, because Portuguese orthography is so intuitively obvious that even 83-IQ primates can grasp it and read fast. That's because it's built upon pure pattern recognition with little to no arbitrary exceptions.
>Using Latin letters has nothing to do with what the letters represent in reality. Mizo Hill people in India use Latin letters to write a tonal austalasian language. The letters themselves are just shapes.
Yeah, but it's possible to use the 26 letters and make it consistent in its own way. If those Indian tonal languages are like Chinese and Pinyin, it's literally the (roughly consistent) Latin alphabet with tone markers and some letters repurposed for unfamiliar sounds.

The English language is Newtonian and Binary, it does not encapsulate the Quantum Superposition of a third state. Unlike Chinese and Irish Gaelic, which hold a space for the suspension of reality.

Which means the perception of reality is bound to the linguistic limit of definition

This is why the degradation of language was a crucial feature within 1984 Newspeak. Language presents boundaries of complexity and perception.

Yeah, basically. But I've noticed that more modern loanwords are not updated. For example, people write "delivery" and not "delíveri" (which would 100% be its spelling now had that word existed in Brazil 100 years ago). Names and company names tend to remain intact 99% of the time, etc.
But there's really no pushback against changing words to match the standard orthography. Even the "Mac" in McDonald's became "Méqui" in Brazil.

Total bullshit. It was the opposite, they became even more devout Christians and closer to God. Every single farm in Scandinavia had a Bible.

I think part of it is how the Western teaching ecosystem and literary world are becoming more and more about facilitating the wants and desires of childless millennial women at the expense of every other demographic.

Kids aren't interested in reading books if all they are shown growing up are just about browns or "romantasy" garbage. We have such a rich cultural heritage that gets 0 exposure, and has to be retrofitted to exclude the types of person who created it to begin with, though I suppose that's pretty much the state of every aspect of Western society at this point.

And you think kids were basically interested in Shakespeare or Homer? Come on, now. Were you ever a child? I assume at one point you were. Were YOU chomping at the bit to read the next verse of the Iliad? Kids have never liked reading very much, and it has very little to do with what the curriculum is. It doesn't matter if it's Joyce, King, or fucking E.L. James -- most kids don't want to read. They never have.
