Rufus got his first grade reading placement test back today (the "Texas Primary Reading Inventory"). He is reading
152 words per minute.Hello? Was I ever that good at reading or that smart? I might have been, but then I lived through the '80s and my brother introduced me to Crown and Coke at a young, young age...
Even now, if I am reading 1st grade material, I cannot read 152 words per minute.
