When I was in elementary school I knew how to use the signs but not how to read them. So I'd always read it as greater than and flip it. So 3 < 5 I would read out loud as "5 is greater than 3". My teacher quickly corrected me though. So it was only for like a week or so.

Well, that's a correct statement, you don't have to say "less than" to read that statement accurately.
