In order to truly and fully understand my history with reading, we must go back to the beginning of my narrative. The earliest memory of reading that I can recall is my mom reading me stories like The 10 Little Ladybugs. I absolutely loved when my mom or dad would read to me, and I wanted it to stay that way. I had no intention whatsoever to explore into my own individual reading endeavors. It seemed that my prayers would be answered, at least for a few years. It wasn't until I was in first grade that reading came back into the forefront of my very short attention span. We had started learning how to read, and I wanted nothing to do with it. My teacher, my parents, and even a few of my friends would try and get me to open a book but to no avail. This utter refusal to read

The power of literacy enables one to become self-aware and opens up new opportunities, leading to a better life. Not only does literacy have the capability to impact significant lives like those of Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass but also a mere individual like myself. Learning how to read and write allowed me to gain knowledge and opened up the opportunity to be able to attend college where I was able to gain even more knowledge. With that knowledge, I became more aware of the opportunities I had and how an individual like myself could contribute to society. I was able to forge my own path that will lead to a successful

In Jonathan Kozol’s “The Human Cost of an Illiterate Society” and Malcolm X’s “Literacy Behind Bars” they both talk about the advantages of being literate, as well as the hardships that those who are illiterate goes through.

Literacy is usually understood as the ability to read and write. Becoming literate as a human being is very vital to your success. Without literacy you are bound to fail. Most people began the literacy journey prior to even being born. The human fetus begins to hear at around the seven month mark, although comprehension doesn’t start until a while after the child is actually born. Literacy typically is learned via a parent and or guardian, school teachers in addition to self-teaching. In my personal opinion literacy is a topic that you will continually improve upon your entire life.

When I was a child, my grandmother use to read to me when I would stay the night with her. I always loved that. Every time she would get me a new book I would be so excited and wanted to read it immediately. I really wish I was still like that but unfortunately I am not. If we have to read a book in class I do absolutely anything to avoid it. I try to do anything I can to get out of it. But I never get out of it and just end up failing every assignment

Literacy is not only knowing how to read and write. I believe it is much more than that. Being literate is more or less being knowledgeable in a specific area. That being said, it is hard to understand anything without first knowing how to read and write and that is why it's so important. I do not believe anyone knows their purpose in life if they are not literate in some area of life.

In the society of today, one of the most vital skills to have is literacy. It seems like our whole lives revolve around literacy.

Literacy, as I see it, has a very broad definition that solely depends on the interpreter. I believe literacy is the ability to read and evaluate the content in their own way of thinking, along with the ability to write and display understanding on a story, topic, or your own thoughts. Reading by itself is useless without being able to think past words on a page and develope one’s own conclusion to form the connections to what the author is trying to say. Writing, and how it is displayed, is a useful tool for the audience in which it is being written for. Effective, descriptive writing makes a more enjoyable read and ultimately a better piece of literature.

Sometimes all it takes to turn the person who hates to read, into the person who loves to read. I know that this has been the case for me at least. When I was a child I hated to read more than anything, but over time I learned to appreciate it more and more. I believe that there are three authors, who were able to influence a young child who hated to read, and created a young adult who doesn’t mind reading and on occasion does it for fun. Those three authors are Gary Paulsen, John Flanagan, and Stephen Hunter.

Literacy has an attribute that includes reading and writing, and is used to communicate, learn, expand your knowledge, and share your thoughts. Literacy is something you learn growing up in your schools, your homes, and throughout your community. The primary source of knowledge, scripture, and language is literacy. These sources are in our everyday lives, whether we are reading books, online surfing, or learning at school. Reading and writing are a vital essential in our lives; you are able to compose your own writing into art, poetry, or stories.

I believe literacy is a very important part of a happy and successful life.

Ever since I was in elementary school, I was never able to grasp what I was reading. It was always a chore and I would speed through it or avoid it entirely. The extra help I received was meant to help me provoke, my eventual, love for reading, but at the time only made me feel as though I wasn't smart enough to read what everyone else my age could. While most kids would push themselves to read books like Harry Potter, I was the kid who was still reading the Magic Treehouse series. It was through the assistance of my parents encouraging me to read 30 minutes every night that caused me to love reading and become the reader I am today.

I struggled with reading as a child, my least favorite subjects. I was held back in the first grade, because, I couldn’t read as proficiently as my classmates and I believe this resulted in a dislike for reading in general. Lucky for me, my family always encouraged me to do my best, even if it

    I used to hate reading. That is until 3rd grade. I remember that day trudging into the library searching for a book that looked even remotely interesting. Spotting dust particles from the sunlight filtering through the high windows in my small school library. I remember skimming all the shelves judging every book by its cover. I finally decided on a book called “Katie Kazoo” and sat down in the library and began to read. That year I read all 33 books in the series and finished half of another series. Ever since reading has helped me through my life.
