One of our garden walkways is exposed through the mighty snow. |
Looking across the driveway to side yard. I had always had a reading & comprehension problems since 1st grade. |
In 10th grade I asked my English Teacher, Mr. Reynold, a question. How could improve my reading skills? He said that I must start to read everything in front of me. He added if you see a bottle of ketchup, read it,place mat,-read it , cereal boxes, phone books....read everything. I trusted this young, hip teacher. So, I took his advise and over time I became an avid reader. Thank you Mr. Reynolds. So I owe a lot to Mr. Reynolds, aka, jolly green giant because he used green magic markers to correct our papers. I can still see his large handwritten note in green spread across the entire page of one of my papers.What a gift he had. I asked him how to solve a ten year problem, and he changed my world in two words - read everything.
