hard work is difficult and unpleasant yes..... but nothing worth doing is ever easy

B4 I actually watched stories and was just reading the events on the god forsaken fandom wiki I was pronouncing emu/nene as eemu/neenee in my head… I could say “I don’t know Japanese” as a reason but English also favors the [e] pronunciation of “e” vs [i] (i.e bed vs see) in situations like this. My excuse for emu is the bird but idk what happened with nene. I think im just stupid. Muscle memory phonics failed me. Child left behind. Girl you know how words like emulsify and never/vender are pronounced.

I was not informed that the college reading level abilities in early elementary school were going to be SEVERELY offset by the apparently permanent 2nd grade level of reading the room in adulthood.

I am not a teacher but I did teach my little sister how to read using phonics when she was five or so (I must have been about 13). And when I was 14, I did community service with my school by volunteering at a local elementary school and the second grader I was supposed to be helping could not read at all, so I brought some phonics books with me when I came to her class and taught her the sounds of the letters and how to put them together and phew it made a BIG difference for her. Yay phonics!!

Reading is such a joy and a pleasure for me and it’s so important in being able to acquire almost any other academic skill. I hate to see children burdened with shame around it.

one big problem with anything touted as a cure-all is that something that helps the majority is often the exact opposite of what the minority needs.

You ever sub for a class and you’re like who tf is your normal teacher

Show and tell in kindergarten, one girl brings like her nail painting set and so some girls are playing with some of the nail stickers. They want to share with me too so I take them. Some of the boys are looking on from across the room and one of them is like “boys can do that??” and I’m like “well I think people should do whatever makes them happy, don’t you?” and suddenly they all go rushing over

like I’m so sorry your normal teacher doesn’t seem to let you explore life outside of rigid gender roles?? At a school that is supposed to be super progressive about all that??

I *just* realized that Gregg Berger aka Cornfed Pig from Duckman aka Jecht from Final Fantasy X aka Cutthroat Bill from Curse of Monkey Island... also worked on the widely syndicated, St. Louis-produced PBS phonics show "The Letter People," which taught me to read by the time I was three. In addition to playing several letter people himself (including Mr. V, the smoothest, suavest motherfucker in the alphabet in his Violet Velvet Vest), he also had a standout performance as the poor experimental word machine that Miss O fucking tortured by forcing it to try applying conventional short vowel logic to words like "cold" or "to" or "word" despite his literal *constant* pleas for her to stop as he belches smoke all over the laboratory. Girlboss gets the goods as usual. It's all on YouTube. Seriously, check out that Mr. V episode. Wait for his introductory song to wrap up, then listen as that velvety sum'bitch learns your ass on what the voiced labiodental fricative is all about.

sometimes you watch a video essay and it is so bad that you instantly go into "I am critically watching this" and you thank the English teachers that actually taught you how to read critically and curse the "the curtains are just blue" people

being a children's librarian is fun because you get to look forward to not having to answer questions about the printer or the mysteries of google drive like adult services does, but then you get asked questions about phonics and AR reading levels and you realize that there are mysteries the depths of which you can never fathom but you have to try because there is a very stressed parent right in front of you
