[Toni] Morrison began the talk with a childhood recollection of learning how to read, which she remembered as difficult “in the sense of having a hard time looking for meaning in and beyond the words.” The common first-grade phrase “Run, Spot, run” presented her with great difficulty, because it led her to the question of “why?” (Anastasia Lloyd-Damnjanovic at The Daily Princetonian)
The above comes from an interesting piece in which Morrison talks about what reading entails.
