Hey Book Reader

In Grade One, when we first learned to read in school, I had a head start somehow.


My earliest reads, before school, were the funnies. Blondie. I knew the alphabet and sounded out the words. I thought Blondie was pronounced 'Blundye.' Later I advanced to child's encyclopedias. I thought Caeser was pronounced 'Kayser.'


So, by the time I got to Grade One, when they handed my group a book with one crumby sentence on each page and asked us each to read out loud just one page, I refused. I read the whole book out loud, myself.


I got into trouble for that. I missed my turn the first few rounds on the next book.
