In the reading circle, I waited impatiently. At last, I speak, finishing far too soon. Condemned to waiting again, I skip ahead, being careful, so my teacher doesn’t see.
I am no amateur.
Late at night, I sneak my flashlight and my favorite book under the blanket and read with abandon.

reading out loud and reading silently is totally different skills for a young one, you captured that in this story for me.

I love this. How many times did I read under my covers? Or by the window with the streetlamp for light…
