He does it totally differently now.’”

We diagrammed sentences; every part of speech, spelling words every week, with definitions. That’s why I CAN write! You talked, and I laughed at how much I recognized that. I’m going to send her one of these word cards.”
—Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials
