    I have a Master’s Degree in reading specialization and it is true…we scan almost all of what we see and read. Reading for adults has become and automatized task in the brain. Children will misread words when they go too fast..this is called a miscue. (IE.. reading how for who)

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
