as to how he helps when I have my therapist hat on. M'reen
A sentence taken from 'Michelle Rhee still doesn’t get it'.
“Some kindergarten students now don’t have time for recess because they are learning reading
and math — that gives short shrift to subjects including science, history and the arts”.

An attitude that has disturbed me for decades and it
would take me pages to describe to you why;
based on my teacher training of the 1970s and the Nursery
School I created in the 1980s etc.
What has this to
do with Turbo Charged Reading you might legitimately ask? Written by M'reen
A lot, as Turbo
Charged Reading can offer freedom, an escape.
I recently met a professional person who is charged out
in 6 minute blocks.
Those 6 minute blocks include going-to-the-toilet-time!
He was so anxious regarding a failed appointment that he
had no influence over
that he was present with nothing but the consequences
when he returned to his cage.
For the child
who has learned to read and can read with comprehension.
Anything that is written down on papers or electronic
media can be Turbo Charged Read
this means facts, figures, diagrams, formulae, language spelling
lists, actually everything.
a) The year’s work can be Turbo Charged Read a few times
at the beginning of the year
b) and re-TCR each term as review and preview or c) sections
can be TCR before each lesson.
B} You might ask, ‘if after TCR the material is firmly in
my innermind and I’ve the mind maps
for swotting purposes why should I re-TCR all the
material for reviewing purposes’?
I would answer that you are perfectly correct from the
point of view of a reading, retaining
and recalling point of view. However I have learned as a Counselling student and have experienced
as a reading tutor of a nine year old that to ‘know’ that
you ‘know’ gives an immense confidence boost and validation to the work previously
undertaken.
A,C} When TCR a course’s written work in advance then that
information is in your innermind
and your little neurons have created new pathways establishing
that information
sections of which is re-visited before each lesson and
built upon within each lesson
not as strange incomprehensible material but as a
building up of understanding.
For example, you cannot understand the diagrams and formulae
etc from simply TCR them
but when they come to be
taught, then their form is not unfamiliar as the building blocks
are there and just need to become familiar in you
innermind with the tutorial.
What does this all
mean to a child who is being processed in nursery school
or is being regimented
in ‘big’ school?
I would argue that being able to TCR enables the Freedom To Be A Child.
Get the school work done; get the extracurricular activities
done; activities that may be
of interest only to the child because no-one knows the
child’s inner heart
and the child ‘enjoys’ what is expected and valued.
After which the child will have time to enjoy what is
naturally enjoyed, have time to dream
with clouds – an often undervalued occupation. Also the
parents and teachers will have a more successful relationship with the child,
their own aspirations and any obligations they feel.
For the adult
who is stuck in an occupation that is not of benefit to them as a person
a change of direction, a new career an unexpected
opportunity or responsibility.
My gosh is there enough time to add: a hobby, interest
and all those areas that enable one
to become a more satisfied and complete person?
TCR a new career while maintaining your old one and supporting
your lifestyle.
TCR your subject area for your interview or newly
appointed responsibilities.
TCR the legal changes in your profession or the monthly
updates for your products.
TCR your subject area in order to give an expert presentation
or invent a new recipe
described
as tasty or successful or envision a new play > sport or thespian .
TCR just for the
fun of it.
