    1. The teacher learned from Nora by observing her natural learning process and reflecting on his own assumptions about how children read and understand language.
    2. He noticed that Nora sometimes misread words she had previously read correctly. This intrigued him, especially since she was focused and not careless.
    3. This experience reminded the teacher of his own struggles reading a page in an unfamiliar Indian language: it looked like a jumble of symbols. This moment helped him understand Nora’s challenge. Thanks to Nora, the teacher understood that children need time and repeated exposure to recognize word shapes and patterns. He learned that teaching is not just about instructing, but also about understanding the learner’s point of view.
    4. Nora, a five-year-old girl, asked the teacher for help with reading during a weekend visit. They became friends, and the teacher began to watch her read silently.
    5. Instead of correcting her immediately, he let her try to understand on her own. When she struggled, he would suggest skipping the word or give her hints.
