How Reading Changed My Life

Reading today is a lot different then it was in the year 868 AD; when the first book was published in China. You know a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers. Society today is so advanced that everything we do is constantly changing whether we realize it or not. For example, the book, before people would go to a bookstore or library to get the books they were interested in. Today society is making fewer trips to the bookstore and library, and making purchases of novels on their e-readers in the comfort of their own home. With these e-readers you can simply purchase any book you would like, some books being under a buck or even free, saving you a trip to the bookstore. E-readers

This was really the start o me enjoying books and wanting to read more. My mom and sister were always readers in my family and would sometimes show me books they were reading to see if they would interest me. I never took alot of interest back then but some books my mom and sister showed me that did interest me were the shining by Stephen King and kiss the girls by James

Literacy plays a huge role in many people’s lives everyday, whether it is learning how to read and write for the first time or writing a five-page essay for the hundredth time. We experience literacy differently and have our very own unique stories on how it has impacted our lives and had made us who we are today. It is an essential aspect that I use in my everyday life, such as in relationships, daily interactions with others, and learning. It has become such a powerful aspect and human right in which it allows one to speak his/her mind and in some cases express their opinion to the world. My personal literacy history has shaped me into who I am today because without my experiences I would not have been able to gain the confidence and

My childhood was filled with literacy and I didn’t even know it. When I was 6 years old I read books like The Cat in The Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? All of which were good books while I was growing up. These books taught me a lot when I was younger and I didn’t even realize it. I would enjoy reading them many times,as I grew older I got into heavier books. My literacy improved a lot throughout my childhood.

Occasionally, he asked me to read some of the words to him. With each word I read, I could see more and more excitement in John’s face, which made me excited to read. John would always say “Please Please keep reading Ms. Ashley, I want to be able to read as good as you so I can read to my mom and dad.” Excitement about reading was a new feeling for me. Never, in my life, have I enjoyed reading anything, though when it came to reading to John I thoroughly enjoyed it. I began searching for books to take to his house when I babysat him. Upon my arrival, he would eagerly greet me at the door in anticipation of the new book I was going to read to him. His face would light up like a rocket when he caught a glimpse of the book. I loved seeing him so excited

Even if I refused to read on my own, my dad still read to me every single night right when I would go to bed. That was something I loved, and would never turn down as a young child. He read many

My earliest memories of reading was when my mom sent me to bible school and the teacher would read out a hand book

Mrs. Song changed the way I view the world, and encouraged the transition from childhood to adulthood within my culture. She was my tenth grade English tutor, and though her main job was to instruct us through literature, she used movies, hands-on experiences, and personal stories to teach us just how relevant the books’ topics were to everyday life. Mrs. Song introduced me to a new way of viewing society, and taught me I can make a change in the world, even with limited resources. Because of her mentoring, I am changed, and I will continue to change. I have not only come to adore multiple varieties of literature, but I also have come to understand the value of communication, perseverance, and redemption.

In elementary school, I started out by reading small books with mostly pictures and spelling. Throughout these first five years of school, I had to keep a reading log. Every Monday I would go to the library and pick out a book that was in my grade section and

In conclusion, I would say my experience on learning how to read was full of cheer and

and one of my favorite stories were the birth of Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew. The one reading that displays an uncomfortable feeling expose the King

Ever since I was a little girl I have had a deep love for reading. My mother started teaching me to read when I was three years old, and by the time I entered kindergarten I already had a firm grasp of the English language and

The very earliest or first time I can remember being read to was probably with my mom. I can remember being in my room with my younger brother the lighting was very dim. We would all lay on my bed before it was time to go to sleep. She would always read our favorite book which was Skippyjon Jones. It was about a tiny little cat whose head was too big for his body and he would always get into trouble. My mom would read this every single night to put us to sleep.

My earliest memory in life is being read aloud to by my parents as a baby. There I was, being rocked in a rocking chair by my mother, in one of the oldest homes in Columbia City. On the corner of Walnut Street, it was home to the young Parker family of three, one dog, many bats, and dust. The few years of my life on Walnut Street consisted of Dora the Explorer, asthma treatments, and being read to. Since these early years, I have outgrown Dora and asthma but my love for reading has continued to grow. Although my literacy story is mundane and similar to many others, reading has helped shaped me into the person I am today.

Reading is such an important thing that some people tend to take advantage of. There are children in many poor countries that may never get the opportunity to even learn how to read. Or if they have that ability, they may not have access to reading materials. I have learned to appreciate the gift of reading and my access to the reading materials I
