Stewarding the HEALTH of our Children's Learning-------- “The Children of the Code experience was life changing for me. I have renewed passion to ensure that every child learn to break the code–there is nothing wrong with the struggling reader–there is something wrong with the curriculum or the implementation of the curriculum!” - T. Nichols, Ph.D., Consultant, Alabama Department of Education

“The keynote speech (Opening the Florida Literacy Conference) and the concurrent session in the afternoon were very inspiring! After the afternoon session I did not even want to go to any other seminar since I was on such a “high” from your presentation of “Children of the Code”. Thank you very much!” - J. Ong, Hillsborough County School District, Florida

After listening to David Boulton, who explained and played several video interviews in his (National Circle of Learning Conference) keynote address, it was as if the pieces of the puzzle magically appeared and fit into place. Now it makes sense. I never fully understood how a child felt when they struggle with reading. The work that you do is critical to our understanding of reading and the problems we face both individually and as a society. I look forward to more of the videos as you continue to post them to your Website.” - N. Schmidt, Trainer, Onondaga Cortland Madison County BOCES, Syracuse, NY

“I heard your presentation at the American Library Association’s Annual Meeting. Your fascinating work may be our best hope of rousing the nation from its inexplicable slumber on this issue.” - J. Martin, Bread for the Head Organization, Chicago
