I sat in school, and a teacher taught me.

Apparently this is a rare phenomenon these days.

Though people who are in a literature rich environment are also probably going to be from families that are smarter and have those damn smart genes.

Anyways, personally, my parents read all the fucking time and occasionally noticed me and would read aloud to me. Eventually started reading myself and discovered I was pretty good at it. Was reading hundred page novels in first grade, couple thousand pages a month by second.

Unfortunately I think my reading comprehension leveled off and declined a lot once I discovered the amazing effects drinking large amounts of alcohol would have.

My parents read to me every night and always had me sound out every word with them. I was reading full childrens books by the time I was three.

When I was first learning to talk, I switched pronunciation of finger and thumb, calling fingers thingers, and thumbs fumbs. To correct it, my parents got me 'Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb'. I remember so vividly reading the book and realizing I had been saying the words wrong, and then never saying them wrong again. Hah.

Other books I remember reading before kindergarten:

This one was actually my favorite - I used to take in the bath, lol:

My sister and I read this together all the time:

And shit there was this other one about a new baby and his jealous older sister. The main line I remember from it is "Ooooh, aaaahhh, isn't he cute??" Shit goddamn Google.

The paper was successfully defended and since I originally did not have any non-native English examples I used some of these and acted like it was as if I handed out a legitimate questionnaire Thanks again everyone!

One of the people I interviewed did not learn to read until the fifth grade, and now she is working on her PHD. And one student I was using had such severe adhd and turrets that he had never learned to read since he could not sit still (He's a fourth grader) I just had to put the stuff on a large screen projector and let him bounce like hell on one of those ab balls. And I think they were more impressed with getting that kid, which they all somehow knew, to read. So, the paper itself could have been written in shit and I'd have passed.

This is the one my mom made me read a million fucking times. Its about this mom that say's this quote to the baby throughout periods of his life until the mother is in the nursing home and the kid says it to her. She was brainwashing me, I knew it then.

Lol at Pooh.

Lilith! Post the Winnie the Pooh psych report thing, or what ever it was.

Pooh needs intervention. We feel drugs are in order. We cannot but wonder how much richer Pooh's life might be were he to have a trial of low-dose stimulant medication. With the right supports, including methylphenidate, Pooh might be fitter and more functional and perhaps produce (and remember) more poems.
