When asked specifically how they learned to read,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], many said their mother or grandmother taught them. A surprising number mention learning at the age of two or “always knowing how to read”. Here are some responses:
* According to my mother I made her teach me and could read and comprehend when I was 2.
Other introverts admit to having read books in the bathtub, on the toilet, in the classroom during boring lectures, in funeral homes, at kids’ concerts, in the basement foundation of a construction site at night (the moon was bright enough to read by), while driving and while waiting for a movie to start. There were some exceptional cases worth mentioning as well. One introvert claims to have read “in the car at night waiting for a cop to write up a ticket (I was 19 or 20 years old)”. Another comments that she read in The Tower of Memories in Crown Hill Memorial Park. “I was in the basement crypt,” she explains, “with several stories of dead folks around and above me reading portions of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Don't ask.” The funniest one I received was this. “On the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Why look at it when you can read about it?” That’s a pretty typical introvert response.
* [I learned in] school? I don’t remember not being able to.
* I honestly don't remember. It feels as if I have always been reading
* I simply absorbed it. There was never a need to be formally taught.
* I seem to have picked it up on my own. The first word I learned to read was "Maytag", from my Mom's wringer washer. I went from there to canned food labels at the supermarket and billboards along US1.
As the recipient of a classical education, I was intrigued with the movie "Troy" which came out this summer. When I sat down in the theater my heart skipped a beat and I realized that the characters in "The Iliad", the book on which "Troy" is based,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], were a greater part of my high school experience than my favorite teacher, my first boyfriend or the award I got for the highest score in the nation of my Latin achievement exams. I earned that score by going through The Iliad line by line, sometimes word by word. In that excruciating process, I came to know “Brave” Achilles, Hector, the “Tamer of Horses” and “Wily” Ulysses far better than the kid sitting next to me. That’s because I’m an introvert. Instead of prom plans, hot fashions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the latest teen pregnancy and my mother’s drinking “problem”, Homer spoke to me of the beauty of Helen, the outrage of Agamemnon and the wrath of Achilles. He spoke about a time when men walked with gods. I was forever hooked on the classics. But then, as I said. I’m an introvert. We love to read.
* I learned by looking at the words while my
One of the very nicest things you can do for your introverted child is to let them read. And by that I mean, let them have their nose constantly in a book. Let them walk in the house after school, go to their room, close the door and read. Let them hold a flashlight under the covers at night and read. This is by far the favored activity reported by all the adult introverts I’ve interviewed. Most of them report that they can’t remember a time when they didn’t read and most of them estimate they have read “thousands” of books in their lives, some as many as 15,000. They also like to reread books several times a year if they like them.
* [I learned to read] very young. The family myth is I was 2 years old. I've always known how to read. So has my daughter. In the genes.
My sister taught me when I was about 2 and she was about 7.
Here’s what a middle aged mother wrote in answer to one of the surveys on my web site for introverts. “I went to the movie theater alone to see Shrek 2,” she says. “Looking at the groups of people around me, I felt a sudden need for company. So I pulled a paperback copy of Dante's Purgatorio out of my purse and propped it up on my lap so that Dante and Virgil could enjoy the movie.”
* Can’t remember not being able to read.
