I wasn't completely disagreeing with you, I'm just saying it wasn't 100% correct and if you're gonna be a dick about it then forget it. I was talking about reading not spoken language which I also had delays in. but I was talking about reading. and I'm telling you that I was read aloud to every night from the time i was an infant til about 8 and it was not until i was taught how to sound out the words that i began to learn how to read.
I wasn't trying to be a dick about it, but I had 50 years of psycholinguistics to cover in two paragraphs lol
Your situation is an example of not being taught with the method that worked for you. Some kids can be read to and learn that way. I'm guessing you aren't an aural learner? Was he showing you the book when he had you sound out the syllables, pointing out the syllables to you? Did he have you repeat the sounds after him?
Those are visual and kinetic learning methods. I'm a visual learner. If I can't something I'm unfamiliar with being done, particularly math, science, and music, I have a lot of trouble understanding it. I can't just have it explained to me and be able to fully understand it. So like I said, learning to read is accidental more than anything. We're guessing at why one way works for one person and doesn't for another. All of the science that's been done has only come up with the ways that can work, we can't predict why something works for one person and not for another. And when teachers have a whole bunch of kids with individual styles of learning, stuff like what happened to you happens. They should have covered more ways of learning it with you, but they didn't.
