On BTT this week:

Who taught you to read?

I can’t remember the exact teacher. Also, English is not my first language. When I did begin to learn English, a number of elementary teachers probably contributed. I had to take an ESL course though and for a long time, I took that class and post-ESL course with a woman named Mrs. Ritzel (I can’t remember if that is how to spell her name). We did a lot of reading in that class, and she really helped with my love of vocabulary and diction.
