So today in one of my classes my teacher was talking about words. It came up that most of the time we read a lot of words, but we don’t know how to pronounce them because we’ve never had to say them out loud so we have to figure out how they’re pronounced. That stuck with me because in my experience it’s completely the opposite. Since I spend most of my time reading by listening to books (because it’s very hard for me to read actual text) I tend to know how to pronounce words I have no idea how to spell. It does lead to some bad spelling and me struggling with certain words. That’s not to say I’ve never seen a word written and not known how it’s pronounced, but my main experience is the opposite to others.
