And you think, oh, hang on a minute, I'm doing exactly the same thing.

And we're getting a different outcome here.

So...

Does that indicate that your environment can be the same and there are sometimes these within children factors or within child factors that are going to be there no matter what you're trying to do at home?

We'll get to some of those.

I know you call them exceptionalities, right?

Because I think that would be useful for parents to understand, okay, what are some of those exceptionalities that maybe I could...

be picking signs up of, you know, I can look for those in my children.

But I wanted to ask, is it a good way to teach every child as though they are struggling to read?

Like, should we be assuming that we have to start from the very beginning with every child?

So how early, how young could a child be and be missing out on the kind of instruction they need and therefore

not being able to have the opportunities that they should have?

How early could that begin?

It's like preschool or kindy.

Yeah, yeah.

So as parents, even before your child starts school, if they are in a position where they are already wanting to read and you're not being able to help them

with that or giving them the opportunities, they are missing out on progression they could be making.

Is this a wake-up call for parents to advocate for their children?

Wow.

Can we go through some of those exceptional needs that you say can fit in various zones on the ladder, right?
