It made me mad so in place of the word I would say random crap like “sdfiogykidu” and “kasdgsdghw.” My mom would keep telling me to sound it out and use surrounding words to figure the word out. Eventually, I would figure it out and get the word. In the end, it all worked out because I learned my lesson, you have to struggle to get good at something. Today, I am much better at reading and other subjects.

Being okay with struggling is a good thing to learn and will help you more than you
