Second Manuscript Pass
When I first began teaching high school English, I realized that my grasp of grammar was not nearly as good as it ought to have been. I had a good instinctive understanding for grammar but didn't really understand the rules, and I was a terrible proofreaders. Today, over 16 years from the first moment I had to explain the present perfect tense to a room full of teenagers, I still struggle to get i

“The act of reading makes me feel safe. Not the book itself--but the exercise of running my eyes over the words. The translation from symbol into meaning. The direct, pleasant diction of the voice inside my head. The influx of information. The transport to other lives, other worlds.”

“Reading a book is quiet, clear, and organized. It's not hard. It waits until I am ready, pauses when I need a break, and is still happy to repeat. Reading absolutely never says "Just forget it" when I need clarification. It doesn't care how I pronounce the words in my head (or aloud, for that matter). It never makes me feel worse and rarely makes me feel lonely. Reading gives me the world. And that, friends, is why I read.”
