1
One day a substitute teacher picked me to read aloud from the textbook.
2
When I told her, “No, thank you,” she came unhinged. She thought I was acting
3
smart and told me so. I kept calm, and that got her madder and madder. We must
4
have spent 10 minutes trying to solve the problem, and finally she got so red in the
5
face I thought she’d blow up. She told me she’d see me after class.
6
Maybe someone like me was a new thing for that teacher. But she wasn’t new to me.

I’ve been through scenes like that all my life. You see, even though I’m

9
I read “at a fourth-grade level,” but from where I sit, that’s not reading. You can’t
10
know what that means unless you’ve been there. It’s not easy to tell how it feels

when you can’t read your homework assignments or the newspaper or a menu in
12
a restaurant or even notes from your own friends.
