Reading is quite challenging for me. This may be an oxymoron, but I consider myself a person of intelligence who has a great amount of difficulty with conprehension. Sometimes I have to re-read five to six times, and I still don't get it fully.
In class growing up, we would read together (such as in jr high) and I wouldn't be able to fully digest what was being read. I would then be embarrassed by the teacher who would ask me a question pertaining to the material that I would not be able to answer. If I'd had the chance to digest it my own way in my own time, I could give a thoughtful answer with perspective and insight, perhaps better than any of the kids in the class. My learning style is different.
Unfortunately they didn't figure out about kids with different learning styles until it was too late for me. I started school in 1968. Times were different then.
In my life, it has made me look like a stupid person from time to time. I'm not stupid (although it took me years to be able to say that.) Reading is not fun for me, it is frustrating. This is not always the case, but more often than not. I have learning/focus problems.
I wish it wasn't this way for me, because I'd love to say I love to read.
Sometimes reading makes me cranky.
