| The Deep Breath |
When I told my class they could recite the entire alphabet
in less than 20 seconds there was a universal “EHHHHHHHHH?!” accompanied by
groans.
It warmed my
heart to see the smallest member of the class race through her alphabet cards in
less than 15 seconds. Somehow her tiny fingers were dexterous enough to pull it
off. Almost everyone pulled it off.
Once the cheers subsided. I asked how much Student A had practiced
that week; she shyly responded “every day.”

There’s no way that practice can make you significantly
worse at the thing you’re practicing, I don’t think. If anything, it’ll at
least promote a growth mindset as you work to master English.
We’re having another test next week. There’s a rumbling that
the benchmark will be less than 18 seconds...
