Eva's teacher still thinks she can't read as well as she should be able to.

And largely, no doubt, assumes she can't read the things she DOES read all the time, short chapter books and the like. We've all given up on the woman. I'm sure she's well-meaning, but if she can't see what everybody else sees, well, there's no point now that we're almost done with the school year.

Yesterday at the bookstore Evangeline saw a copy of a kit for kids, "Yummy Crochet". She read the title aloud and laughed at it for being so silly. I'm not sure when or how she internalized "sometimes, words ending with -et are said with a final -ay sound", but she must have because I'm certain she's never seen the word "crochet" written down before in her life.
