We develop early learning software designed to individualize instruction, so children can learn at their own pace.

我们开发了针对个性化教学的早期学习软件，这样孩子们就可以按照自己的节奏学习。

That's Jeanette Betancourt, an expert in children's early learning and development.

那是珍妮特·贝坦科特，一位儿童早期学习和发展的专家。

But the tests used to assess that early learning may have little to do with the skills actually needed to read and enjoy books or other meaningful texts.

但是用于评估早期学习的测试可能与阅读和享受书籍或其他有意义的文本实际所需的技能关系不大。

Since Head Start, we've made strides, but there are still 2.2 million children in the US without access to early learning, or more than half of the four-year-olds in the country.

自从有了“Head Start”项目，虽然我们取得了一些进步，但美国仍有220万儿童没有早期学习的机会，也就是说这个国家一半以上的四岁儿童没有早期学习的机会。

To do that, we rely on experts from fields ranging from reading to sociology to brain science development to all aspects of early learning, to tell us what the software should do and look like.

为了做到这一点，我们需要依靠从阅读、社会学、脑科学发展到早期学习的各个领域的专家，让他们来告诉我们软件应该做什么和应该看起来像什么。
