Oh good lord I’m so glad I was homeschooled. My brother and I both had a solid concept of reading before we even started kindergarten. Hooked on phonics, phonics specific workbooks, reader rabbit, and jumpstart were all fundamental parts of our childhood. As soon as I learned how to read, I was hooked. I could sit in my room and read all day long if I was allowed to, as could he.

PBS kids is the reason I am the way that I am. I can still remember Electric Company teaching me about silent letters and how to break words into familiar chunks to sound them out, and Word Girl and Martha Speaks teaching me advanced vocabulary words.

Kids not being able to read is a sad reality. I had no idea they were being told to just guess their way through words they didn’t know. Where are the abcs? Where’s the lesson on what sounds each letter makes?? A is for apple, B is for ball?? No Leapfrog Letter Factory??? 🎶“The E says eh, the E says eh, every letter makes a sound, the E says eh”🎶 is permanently ingrained in my skull.

This explains so much about why 20 somethings are just unable to read to any level of complexity beyond a tweet. The miserable failure of US pedagogy

I Am All In Rewatch - Jess & Rory- Episode 2x5 (Part 1)

Yeah, you're a hot dude, but I ain't. I ain't passing up a hot meal when I'm hungry. Guy. I mean, you know, you kind of matter, but not right now. She's her own person. She's grown, you know, she's growing into the spectacular woman to be and it's just this strong, empowered one but still hell bent for leather because who mommy is and who daddy is, right? So there, so there's that opening... It'll cause her some heartache maybe, but it's necessary...And I thought, in terms of the acting he had, he displayed an appropriate amount of you know, sort of internal confusion and internal angst and um where he was that he was that guy that thought he knew everything, yet he knew he didn't, and he was angry about it and he just he just couldn't. He had no patience for conformity or society. It made me made you want to find out what happened to him and help him out, and it really made me gravitate toward him. So that's the subtlety in his performance that is so brilliant. It draws you in. You know, he doesn't overdo it, He just gives you a taste. -Scott

therapy today was so intense. good but so intense. i really like my therapist though i know ive said this but he literally printed me out the manual and another thing for the type of therapy we're doing so i can read it myself bc he trusts that im smart enough to understand it

what about Shavian

i had never heard of it before but WOW. first off, huge fan of the shaw > shavian transformation.

but the idea of english with such a shallow orthography feels WRONG

[sagesfandomspot]

Every time I watch the scene where Jess walks into Rory's room for the first time, all I can think is how they don't even know that they just changed history.

my favorite thing about reading up on different musicians is that people say shit like "the shoegaze/post-rock/black metal/post-metal intersection which is now called blackgaze" and that just. makes sense to them

Yes, you can be surrounded by people and still feel alone sometimes. It’s not that deep, it’s doesn’t mean she isn’t married. ////// surrounded by succchhhhh a loving husband and still unhappy??????? Oops!!!! And it wasn't sometimes, she talked about an year????? A whole year with her then bf????? They were in atlanta or MA or LA in 2023 together????😉🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

See this is why reading comprehension is so important kids stay in school for as long as you can because some of you even in your big age still can’t read properly and it’s a huge epidemic with schooling. These poor kids you know they grow up to be illiterate adults because they just don’t have anyone in their life to take the time and teach them to read. She never said it was the whole year she said last year, which could’ve been any month or any block of months in that year, nothing was said about it. And yes, someone can be loving and attentive and if you’re in depression or you’re just generally sad for whatever reason that you are, it doesn’t matter how many people are with you you can feel alone or even lonely. it doesn’t matter how many people love you. You can still feel alone or lonely. This is where the empathy kicks in and none of you have a single ounce of it in your shitty little bodies. The way that you all take a sentence and misconstrue it and turn it into something completely different. So again remember school is very very important. Always keep up on the reading because the older we get the less comprehension works out as we can see here and then you’re gonna end up like this poor dip shit so remember keep reading! Keep that brain sharp!
