What is significant about how he learned to read?]]> 2021-01-18 20:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lirogers2/yhdtkihivz9xkuze/wish/1099068451 Bullock learned to read early, which isn't always the best thing, according to early childhood educators, but it was why he started to read that really mattered. His grandmother wanted him to go farther in education than the rest of the family. She inspired him to do that by building a love for language in him. She also led him to trust her guidance. lirogers2 https://padlet.com/lirogers2/yhdtkihivz9xkuze/wish/1099068453
