On the need for early childhood mastery of reading skills

Exploration of the relations between language and non-verbal sensory
perceptions;

Of the relation between the level of intelligence and the level of
density reached by the cerebral structures that are established through
the kinaesthetic excitation induced by the use of the speech organs;

Set processing with neural networks applied to the functioning of the
neocortex;

Relations between words and objective reality;

that allows understanding why early tutoring of reading skills favours such an efficient structuring of the verbal areas of the neocortex between birth and the age of 7;

why children who learn to read early generally become intellectually gifted;

how educational techniques could be defined to generalize the acquisition of a superior level of intelligence by most children.
