How to Master Elementary Reading | The 4 Stages Explained
In the US, 21% of adults are illiterate, and 54% have a literacy level below the 6th grade. With this video series, our goal is to help close that gap by even one person. In this video, we'll be discussing how to master elementary reading. Before we dive into that, you need to know that there are four levels of reading: elementary reading, inspectional reading, analytical reading, and syntopical reading. Each level builds on the previous one, and mastering each is essential. In this video, we'll be focusing on the first level of reading - elementary reading - and the question it poses, which is "What does the sentence say?"
We'll cover the four stages of elementary reading: reading readiness, word mastery, functional literacy, and enhancement and refinement. We'll also discuss the teaching methods, such as the phonic, ABC, and sight methods, and the factors that contribute to reading readiness in children.
To help you master elementary reading, we'll provide three tips: concentrate on reading words and sentences verbally and quietly, make common connections between different genres of books, and find differing viewpoints from different authors within the same genre. We'll also recommend four genres of books to read: self-help, novels, fantasy, and epic poetry. We'll provide specific book recommendations from each genre to help you get started.
Don't worry if you can't understand the writing at first; reading is a skill that takes practice. Take it day by day, and you'll master elementary reading in no time. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay up-to-date on our latest content.

Why College Students Are HORRIBLE Problem Solvers
In this thought-provoking video inspired by David Epstein's book Range, we explore why college students are terrible at problem solving despite having the necessary education and knowledge. We will discuss three key reasons that contribute to this phenomenon, including:
Decreased propensity for analogical thinking: Research shows that college students have a lower aptitude for analogical thinking, which is crucial in solving complex problems. We'll discuss why this is and how it affects problem-solving abilities.
Ever-increasing concentration toward specialization: With an emphasis on specialization in higher education, students are missing out on general problem-solving skills that can be applied across different fields and industries. We'll delve into why this is a problem and how it affects problem-solving abilities.
Underestimating the importance of short-term planning: Many college students prioritize long-term goals and overlook the significance of short-term planning. We'll explore why this is and how it hinders problem-solving abilities.
By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of why college students struggle with problem-solving and what can be done to improve their skills. If you're a student or educator, this video is a must-watch!
