I am 13 years old and I remember when I was learning to read I thought that everyone was making the words up and it was one big practicle joke to try to convince me into beliving them and that the letters were just squiggles that everyone said were letters. When I refused to listen to my teacher in Kindergarden and told her that she was lieing about the letters and words then as I procided to throw a tamtrum I was sent early for nap time so she wouldn't have to put up with me. I WAS AN ODD CHILD...
A childhood belief about reading
others believed things like this
- From the first six letters of this word, I thought that “megalomania” had something to do with megalodons.— Enrico
- I used to think "Zed" and "Zee" were two different letters.Anon
- I used to believe that translating from language into language was only a matter of changing letters ! :) — EwS
- I used to believe that all four-letter words are bad words.Anon
- I thought "prison" and "prism" are the same words as each other.Anon
- I thought the word economical was actually two words: eek and omical.
