Needing to build the remotes is filed away for later, Anakin paying attention as everything is explained. "I think Mom can read a little, but I know she can do some math, because Watto makes her sometimes." But Anakin had largely worked in the shop alone, and Watto didn't tolerate him doing things that didn't involve fixing parts, droids, or cleaning.

"Is that what you are reading? Things you couldn't learn then?" It seems to him that Garth'zel needs to worry less about being killed now.
