It seems simple enough, but studies have shown that subtitles can double your kids chance of leaving school a proficient reader. THAT can mean the difference between success and “Just Getting By” in the future for our children.
This compelling video message from Jack Black really spoke to me! (But I read along with the video, just the same.)

This last Thursday night, I attended the 25th Anniversary Gala for Reach the World, a non-profit that I have provided my Creative Direction to for over the last two decades. As an early Traveller on their program’s launch craft “Makulu”, through years as a Board Member, and then professionally over the last decade, I have guided their Brand Development, designed and produced several websites, developed a popular geography app, created numerous presentations for all kinds of mediums, and I continue to support this wonderful organization with my imagination and creative energies through my company Young Mind Interactive (youngmindinteractive.com/).Their mission to use technology to connect children in underfunded schools with travelers around the world has helped them grow over the last 25 years from a small, home-based non-profit to a well-funded, well-partnered, national organization, embedded in thousands of schools in the U.S. and bridging the divide between cultures and societies one child at a time.
