I think it may have something to do with bad ear infections I had when I was little. I felt self-conscience and stumbled to utter the sounds of the words. It was a horrible, horrible feeling to a wee one to have towering mean giant look down on you because you had trouble with sounding out words. I came to think, if someone who could read better than me must be smarter than me, too. So, I dumb down myself driving my self-esteem into the ground. I learned in my early teen years I had severe scare tissue on my ear drums after seeing my ears, nose, & throat doctor. I had yet another bad sinus/ear infection. My hearing isn't impaired much as an adult, but it sure isn't what it should be for my age either. The only thing to change over the years is that I am not that little nervous kid afraid of the world. I am confident and smart, but reading anything of length just isn't appealing for the most part. On the occasion that I do read anything, I like true stories. I bet your students love you, too! Thanks for hosting the A2Z fun!
