I hadn't learned to read by third grade, which wasn't unusual for some kids. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't see or understand the words the way the other kids did. I wasn't the least bit bothered - until I was sent back to the second-grade classroom for reading help after school.
我三年级的时候还没有学会阅读，这对一些孩子来说并不罕见。我知道出了什么问题，因为我不能像其他孩子那样看懂或理解单词。我一点也不担心——直到放学后我被送回二年级的教室寻求阅读帮助。
