I think whether harry potter caught the snitch in his hand or his mouth is trivial in the great scheme of the book. Words that I used often had pronouciation corrected but some were much later - berefit, Durham, Worcester,Warwick are the ones that spring to mind. Not being able to pronounce these didn't affect my reading. Most of the time a unknown word can be guessed in context or looked up later but dropping ruins the flow. One thing I was always grateful to my father for is he always supplied a definition without suggesting I look it up. I love dictionaries but not while I am trying to read (do like this on kindle though).
Anyway we don't have AR here though there may be something similar later and so far I have only disagreed with the teacher's assessment once. I think he had a bad day because he was moved up to where I thought he should be less than two weeks later.
