A New Way to Learn to Read English | Narda Pitkethly | TEDxSunValley

- Narda Pitkethly created a system that profoundly simplifies learning how to read. Watch how her system reduces illiteracy and many of its negative consequences. Narda Pitkethly moved to Japan after college and discovered the Japanese had created a simple method of learning to read, called Hiragana. Through their method, Narda learned to read Japanese in a week. Within three months, her comprehension allowed her to communicate freely in her home city of Fukuoka.
In 1988 Narda moved from Japan to Sun Valley because the small community and year-round outdoor activities enticed her. An accomplished glassblower, she often travels to Boise to create works of art.
When her daughter was identified as a challenged reader in the first grade, Narda discovered that English is one of the hardest languages in the world to learn to read, even for native speakers. Narda analyzed the English alphabet to understand why it is so difficult (1 in 4 children grow up without learning to read). She organized the letters in the same way the Japanese organized their Hiragana characters. Narda reveals an approach to the English language you have never seen before. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Her voice is like listening to a story book. I love it. Very soothing.
My gosh, that's what I thought too
Excellent video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Millawdon Future Ticket Trick (google it)? It is a great one off guide for teaching children to read without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got great success with it.
M.a thanks i love you sister
Great

Pleace halp me learn english

Thank you so much!
Transcription works the same way.
As a native Spanish speaker I MAKE FUN ONCE AND MAKE A THOUSAND TIMES at English because Spanish is a phonetic language (with very few exceptions). We do not need someone to tell us how to pronounce a word, just by seeing it written we can pronounce it perfectly (if you do not have any problem / disease of pronunciation or speech, of course) In Spanish, each vowel (we have only 5: a, e, i, oyu) has one and only one sound (NEITHER MORE NOR LESS) The same happens with almost all consonants. English is not a phonetic language and that makes it a clumsy and poorly structured language from its origins. Spanish is a THOUSAND TIMES better language than English.
@@profesordanielalvarez3498 your claim of Spanish being a 'better' language than English is baseless. No language is better than any other languages. Every language of the world is unique and special in their own ways. Just so you know, I'm not a native English speaker.
Incredible! This is one of the most delightful, warm, and hopeful talks I've seen in a while.
I love how she speaks very slowly to adapt the target audience of this video, people who try to learn English. Thank you, Narda!
WOW! This is an amazing breakthrough in learning to read. Thank you, Narda for creating this system and making the world a better place.
Thank you!

This woman's too kind enough to send her positive energy to the universe and inspire other people to do the same.
She's excellent!!! I love her energy, heart and souls
kind enough, not too kind enough.
@@alastairgreen2077 Why? What have you done so far and it spreads some positivity to the universe?
Many thanks, I love her voice
What a serenity in her voice
Thank God for people like this lady 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

Thank you!
I AGREE!! And I had made a little phonics book for Korean English learners when I found differences English and Japanese or Korean letters. But that's for beginners. Korean letters, Hangeul can express all kinds of English sounds. So someday I want to share my methods..
Finally, I've found something that proves what I was thinking about don't pronounce English words properly. Those many songs for a single letter is the root of my problem.
OMG! This is the most amazing thing I’ve heard to learn how to read 🤩 THANK YOU
Her voice is mesmerising
As a Japanese,I'm really happy to know that Japanese "hiragana" gave her an inspiration for Narda.
At first, I though her idea won't help to read English, however my thinking was changed after listen to the boy's speech.
I'm dyslexic for English/Latin alphabet, but I found when learning Hiragana and kanji/Hanzi. I recognize it fast, and it's really encouraging me.
Thank you!
I have the words written out on the screen on my RUclips channel. Take a look and see if I can help you.
@@tuvzio3082 はい
Don't forget that ch is also used for the "sh" sound in words such as machine, chef, and my favorite, schwa!
I cried when he started reading 😭😭 my 2nd grader is struggling. I can only imagine how this boy felt and everyone in his life. ❤️
This is just awesome! Congratulations!!!
That is amazing for all of us, native speakers or non - native. When I decided to start learning English, I struggled with myself because of letters' sounds. So, I know that it can work for people that started learning English.
Yes! Thank you for watching!
Teacher, you're our HERO.
This is the only video that I watched without subtitles and able to understand what she had said
Thank you!
Simply amazing!
Thank you!
Reading aloud is the foundation for literacy development. It is the single most important activity for reading success, and has numerous, significant cognitive benefits.
Yes! Thank you for watching!
I agree. Reading aloud is very important. They more senses that you use, the better the learning process works.
Her voice is so clearly and naturally. I really like it
Thank you!
😀
You are the best! I’m crying!
At last someone who actually knows what they are talking about. For decades so call teachers written me of as dyslexic. Less than ten minutes she has answered all questions the teachers can not or did not understand many thanks.

You're the pure light for real. Thnx a million.

How confident she is😍😍🙌
Me too ,, now I know all things are possible.!!
amazing vídeo
The best way of learn english it's pronounce well the words and also read every single day.
Her english is so easy to understand! Congratulations!
Such a magic!
I leaned English pronunciation from dictionaries that have international phonetic alphabets (IPA) which have more natural and suggestive appearance than the Nardagani symbols. Equally important for leaning English are the accent position and splitting/linking of syllables. The speaker has some good ideas: i) use underline for silent alphabets, ii) place the symbols directly underneath the actual words.
This lead to the question: are there any children books which use IPA
I agree. Why create new symbols for sounds such as "sh" and "oo" when they already exist in the form of the IPA and are in widespread use in dictionaries, and are a de facto standard representation for these sounds?
I was also wondering whether there are any books written in IPA. It would be a great way to learn or revise one's IPA, or to learn to speak English with correct pronunciation.
@@matthewbartsh9167 Because these symbols are more vivid and suitable to illiterate.
What a such inspirational life story. Thanks God for this kind of human and also because she is spreading her knowledge. Thank you very much Lady!!!
Thank you!
Great.i can't understand the native speaker but the way she talk I understood every word of her.thank u mam.
She speech is really excited me we must feel great honour such as people thanks
I really love her gentle voice. She's so cute
Thank you!
What a remarkable accomplishment and gift to many.
Thank you so much!
Her voice is like the tranquillity of mind and rejuvenation of mood. Also smoothly fathomable what she speaks.
Thank you!
Reading is one of the best activities, i'm not an english native speaker, but i am learning the languange and books are a great tool that is helping me reach that goal. A bought a fiction book and is not only a good i
Entertainment but also a great way to learn new vocabulary.
Thanks for video
It's quite touching short clip. I was so impressive. I hope to develop textbooks sort of this for all other languages!
Thank you!
I’m so touched by this story.
So am I.❤️
Thank you for watching!
Different reading methods work for different people. If this program works for some then it can only grow and work for more people that struggle with reading. I know it works!
WOW! This is an amazing
que mulher fantástica!!!
Beautiful mind . Great talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
Thank you for your kind words!
Her voice is great. And I love it.
Thank you so much!
What beautiful speech. Teaching isn't easy skill to acquire just a few persons can have that gift.
Thank for your kind words!
I love your personal story and your sincere pride with your son! All three of my children struggled early on with reading despite the reading we did everyday, labels around the house, etc. the teachers struggled with teaching them as well. There is also some dyslexia too. The symbols seem to help with that. I’m very interested in your program. You found a solution to a problem. Thank you!

@@profesordanielalvarez3498 No doubt you are absolutely correct in your comment. However, almost everyone wants to learn English as it is the language used in science, technology, maths etc
The best part of Ted without adds interrupt ☺️
I like her sound. so soft n comfortable.
Greatest teacher I have ever seen in my life.
Thank you!
Look at my RUclips channel & podcast. Maybe I can help you too!
Such a pleasure to see a beautiful, smart and calmed woman exposing really brain training things. I perfectly read english (my 3rd language) but it made me think in other perspective about this and allowed me answer some questions I always had. It was a pleasure. Thank you. And I will recommend this method to people who tries to learn english. Very good job.
I love listening to her voice. It's very clear and slow so easy to get it.👍👍👍
Thank you for your kind words!
Incredible.
Wow! Great way to learn English.
English is really complex take for instance, the vowels. Knowing each vowel is challenging because it takes a lot of effort and knowledge from the teacher or tutor in order to impart it properly and accurately.
This session is awesome!
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for inspiring other teachers!!!
Thank you!
I agree
AMAZED...
Thank You For Sharing ❤️
Very inspiring story and a great method of reading. Thank you for sharing that. I really like your voice. It is so warm and sweet.

Read a lot
Listen a lot
The more words you know, the MORE you can say.
The more grammar you know, the BETTER you can say it or even write it.
You've got to know a wide range of grammar and vocabulary.
Pronounce words correctly.
Not necessary to sound like a native.
Good text . I agree with you.
Listen, read and talk...

I WANT TO UNDERSTAND SENTENCE ON REDDIT. I HAVE LEARNING ENGLISH FOR 8 YEARS(5400 HOURS), BUT MY ENGLISH IS STILL BAD. I'M SAD AND HELPLESS.
@@user-gn8wy9lg5e Most of the posts on reddit are full of jargons and argots, so you'll have to gain a huge amount vocabulary. I suggest you to jot down the unfamiliar words upon reading reddit posts. Grammar is important as well, it's a shortcut to understand complex sentences without reading a lot.
@@WilliamParkerer thank you. i will try that.
I love her presentation
Thank you for watching!
I came here to learned English then i also learned a new lesson. Her voice is so soothing and clarity
