Yesterday H told me he had left some of his work at the "crib." I asked what was that--the crib--and D said that he couldn't believe I asked that. A "crib" is your house. I wonder how many of my colleagues know that!
Monday I used the Reading Profile tests with a student at the library class where I help out. After misreading several multisyllable words on the Word Recognition list, she said, " I never was good at pronunsation." I didn't correct her pronunciation or her thought.
And then I have had to chuckle about it being all right to say "G D it" if you are an atheist according to one young man yesterday. He also wrote that he was dylexic. He certainly can't spell. I have told the story many times of that dear student Kevin in my 6th grade class years ago who wrote on the top of his spelling test "I am dum." He was smart enough, but he too couldn't spell!
