Sanjay: It does seem like most people are hesitant in the beginning! The difference between the folks who make it and the ones who don’t actually seems to be somewhat dependent on whether the person in question can stay really open-minded about the process and believe in the possibility of crazy things (which, really, is what I do for a living – ha!). It also seems like kids have an easier time picking it up, which makes a lot of sense—but keep in mind, my experience with this program is mostly just my own personal experience; my exposure to other people doing it is very limited.

There’s a book we read at the seminar that was GREAT, and you might want to look it up if you’re interested in creative teaching / learning styles. It’s called the Power of Mindful Learning by Ellen J. Langer. It’s really fantastic, it made me very excited for all the possibilities there are in helping people LOVE to learn instead of just put up with it.

Good luck!!

hello,

very nice experience. i can feel your emotion right now. i just purchased the delux version of the photoreading and i am hesitating that can i make it happen but after reading your story i think i can do it.

i am here to ask you a question. my son is reading in the iv class and ii class. and i wanted to teach them without going any formal way. they is weak in english because english is not our mother toung. can you suggest any way so that i can teach my sons in some intresting way so that they take the intiative to learn.

any suggestion welcome.

thanks,

This sounds really awesome! I’m sure Kyeli and I could learn a lot from Millicent about putting together an excellent workshop. I’m looking forward to hearing more about the particular learning strategies that she employed. (:
