Of course there are many other smaller influences that have helped me but none are nearly as important as the four I've listed above. I may not be much of one but I am proud of the writer I am today. Writing is an outlet for people and a required part of society. Its exceedingly important throughout history and everyone's life. I am happy for the experience and skill I have and all the influences that have made me the writer I am

To me, reading means many things, not only the reading of text on a page but actions of others and myself as well. Most other people may not say that they will think of baseball games when thinking of how they read in real life, but I view the game of baseball that way and I like to share about how I can read in many different ways in life. Reading books is definitely not one of my favorite hobbies to do, but every once in a while I will find a good book that will catch my interest for the next couple of months. My learning experience from reading on the field has taught me another meaning of literacy that I would not have realized if I had not thought about what reading really meant to me. I can now understand how I use reading in all different aspects of my life better, and not just in the classroom but throughout my everyday activities, like baseball.

Growing up in working class family, my mom worked all the time for the living of a big family with five kids, and my dad was in re-education camp because of his association with U.S. government before 1975. My grandma was my primary guardian. “Go to study, go to read your books, read anything you like to read if you want to have a better life,” my grandma kept bouncing that phrase in my childhood. It becomes the sole rule for me to have better future. I become curious and wonder what the inside of reading and write can make my life difference. In my old days, there was no computer, no laptop, no phone…etc, to play or to spend time with, other than books. I had no other choice than read, and read and tended to dig

This article, Reading to Have Read, has caused me to "open my eyes" as to what is really happening when people read nowadays. The author made points of which I completely not only agreed with, but related to. Reading this, and not "spritzing" it, has made me understand how the brain has been altered to fit in with the convenience of the now.

Despite me disliking reading and writing, these past 3 semesters of college I have done more reading than I did my entire high school career. At times when reading, I will find myself reading the same paragraph five times because I keep distracting myself while reading. This also led to me not understanding the text. I had to find ways to read more efficiently. I researched ways to improve reading skills. While researching, the technique that helped most was highlighting important points in my readings. I have not reread a single paragraph out of being distracted since. I also find it much easy to understand and follow text by reading summaries prior. I may not excel in reading and writing but I am much more proficient in it. Being literate in reading and writing has helped me become more literate in many other areas in

In fourth and fifth grade I was introduced to AR (Accelerated Reading) quizzes, which tested one’s knowledge on a novel and awarded points. The points could be used towards receiving an award from the “chest”, which was a chest full of prizes, from chinese handcuffs to laffy taffies. This chest was placed purposely in front of my fourth and fifth grade language arts classes, so that all student were made aware of the prizes at all times and kept them striving to receive those awards every day in class. Starting my fourth grade year, I was such a massive fan of the Harry Potter series. But that did not keep me from reading all the books in the series. During recess I remember exclaiming “Expelliarmus” and waving a dirty twig that I found to

We all know reading is boring, time consuming, and compulsory. All though, most kids would agree with that statement, some may disagree. Some can say that if one does not read they can lose knowledge and become less smart. If you don't read there can be consequences for stopping. Reading is valuable because it gives readers the power to escape, to maximize their potential, and to strengthen their mind.

His vast amount of reasons why reading is the more ideal choice include much more than what most people may think. Which would be increased intelligence,

I completely agree with this quote because how would someone have any advantage over those who cannot read if all they do is read mindless books, or choose not to read at all. Sure, that person is able to read, but they are not acquiring their full potential. People who do not choose to read, do not challenge themselves to understand the world around them. Any able readers must try to challenge their understanding, be open to new ideas, and even challenge those ideas. People must explore their curiousness through exposure to great literature. It is displeasing to think that more people are choosing to not even attempt to read complex books. It is displeasing to think that people are reaching for tabloids at a grocery store while the nearby

AR points are a big waste of time. I mean, reading is great but, if you have a long book how are you going to remember a question from the beginning of the story. Also if you have to read at home, while you could be playing sports or just going outside and having a fun time. Lastly if kids have school sports and other homework when will they have the time to read.

Reading is something that is taught to everyone in their early childhood, the time I learned to read I was very fond of books. I loved to read novels to myself and to read them out loud to my sister. I like reading action, thriller, historical fiction, and mystery. During my early childhood we would have challenges of reading such as wrapped up and reading, golden dragon. These were reading challenges for students to read 20-25 specific grade novels during the school year and at the end you got a party if you read at least 5-10. I used to love reading and at that time I would read at least 20 books because I wanted to go to the party and win something with the lottery tickets I got. My childhood was fulI of reading, even if I read because I was greedy and I read because of the party, it still improved my reading level. As I grew and grew my reading

(Attention Getter) Reading is a hobby that many of us can or already do enjoy, but what if I told you that the benefits of reading can stretch far beyond a little ease-of-mind? (Thesis): Some claim that readers will be able to enjoy a notably longer life than those who do not read. (Relevance): Out of the lazing pastimes that we occupy our little free-time with, very few of them have such a considerable, long-term effects as these claims

Research has consistently shown that that reading books to children has a positive effect on literacy outcomes in the following ways:

According to Cunningham & Stanovich (2001), their research has demonstrated that reading yields significant benefits for everyone, not just for the more able readers or “smart children”. Even the kid with limited reading and comprehension skills will build vocabulary and cognitive structures through reading (p 147).But this unacceptable taking online courses ,also improve student’s comprehension skills ,but in a different exciting ways like singing vocabulary words songs that makes students want to work on their brains to be bigger and full of knowledge like a foreign student who cannot read online English books to build his vocabulary he can easily take an online course that will help him to read and speak English fluently .Online courses also improve student’s cognitive skills in effective ways like videos that stimulate problems that any student can face and how to face them. In my opinion taking online courses is better than reading online because some students can feel bored or sleepy when they read an

Reading helps in mental development and is known to stimulate the muscles of the eyes and it is also an activity that involves greater levels of concentration and adds to the conversational skills of the reader.
