Answered a pivotal question in my own life
This is exactly why I had to repeat 1st grade. I didn’t know how to read. I had no idea why they were teaching me the way they were, but my parents knew something was wrong when I was spelling cat like kat and the teachers were okay with it. I repeated 1st grade at a catholic school and starting reading within a few weeks. This podcast explained so much, I thought I was the only one. But now I have two bachelor degrees, I love reading, but hate writing 😄 I still have issues with pronouncing words, recalling words and spelling.
