Lost highways: an offbeat road trip through forgotten America – in picturesI once stumbled upon a whole genre of videos of Brits being astonished at the physical size of the US.
These reminded me of those because to traverse the US in a VW bus would be a pretty slow and loud method to go a very long way.

You were probably taught to read wrong ...You were probably taught to read wrong ... Well, actually, probably not. Depends on your age and location.
But this IS really interesting. I had no idea because my kids were older when the cue system replaced phonics and my grandkids are just starting to learn to read.
But it is nice to see validation of the idea that reading and writing are recent skills that build on our general verbal language capacity which evolved long before writing was invented.
BTW, really great examples for lessons in philosophy of science in this video.
