reading at natural speed
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 2014.01.21
The Toronto school system has a reading system where the kids follow graded levels, A, B, C, etc. Ken started "Senior Kindergarten" at a "C" in September and has already clawed his way up to an F2. He's reading moderately interesting things now, and sounds things aloud at about half the speed I do. I wouldn't dare commenting on his Harper-like I mean robot-like reading voice but I suppose it won't be long before he's reading this journal.
Dang, no more comparing him to unpopular Prime Ministers!
