When I was at school, I hated reading aloud in class. If we had a lesson where the teacher would go around the classroom getting everyone to read a paragraph in turn, I would spend the whole time counting how many students were there before me and figuring out which paragraph would be mine. I’d practise it over in my mind, hoping I wouldn’t stumble over any of the words.
