THE LEARNING FORCE
Every human being has genius.
The Learning Force develops books, ideas, talks, and initiatives exploring how literacy foundations shape learning—and how more people can recognize and develop their full range of capabilities.
Core belief
It is time to steer genius with the alphabet. Genius is not reserved for a gifted few — it is a human capacity waiting to be activated.
Ideas that move from understanding to action.
Books and publishing
Dear Genius and future publications that challenge narrow assumptions about literacy, symbols, and capability.
Articles and resources
Essays and editorial resources for parents, educators, schools, and curious readers rethinking learning.
Speaking and education
Talks, interviews, parent sessions, school programs, and professional conversations.
Initiatives and practical pathways
Project 111K and a clear handoff to Alphabetter for assessment, relearning, and structured family programs.
Parents and children learn side by side — when families participate as equals, capability becomes visible in more than one form.

Dear Genius
Harness the Hidden Power in Your ABCs
Dear Genius asks readers to reconsider what the alphabet is, what it influences, and what may become possible when foundational confusion is understood and directly addressed.
When those patterns stay fuzzy, children work harder for smaller returns. They may look unmotivated when they are actually overloaded.

Relearning and AI
Relearning in the age of AI
Technology will keep shifting tools. Foundational ownership of symbols and patterns still belongs to the learner.
Alphabet Foundations
Why the alphabet is more than memorization
Letters are symbols children carry into every subject. What changes when we treat them as ownership, not recall?
Confidence
Why confidence is a learning foundation
Confidence is not a sticker for good grades. It is part of how children decide whether effort is worth it.
Project 111K
See learners before they stop seeing themselves.
A movement-sized invitation to help communities recognize hidden genius and alphabet ownership earlier in the learning story.
Speaking that changes the conversation.
The Learning Force's speaking program brings its ideas to parents, educators, schools, conferences, media, and community organizations.
Led by Diane Devenyi, JD, MEd, author of Dear Genius and creator of Alphabetter.
