Reading has been one of my favorite hobbies since I was a little child. I grew up as a normal child should grow and eventually I had to start learning for me to fit in society. My literacy started many years ago, after I knew how to talk and communicate with people. Reading my alphabet was quite stressful and I had to be given a hand by my family members. I remember my parents reading with me and it was the most meaningful and memorable way to spend time with me. This is because I liked reading a lot and I was eager to learn so that I could fit in with my older siblings. My favorite books were storybooks taking about adventures and fairytales
I have to study the manual, learn all the laws, recognize road signs and be able to drive a car safely. I have to be responsible when driving a car so I am reading and working on that so that I can drive where I need to go. Even when I want to order something from a restaurant I have to read the menu, add up the cost and determine whether or not I get to order what I want or have to cut back a little depending on how much money I have in my pocket at the time. From the beginning I remember hearing someone read to me or reading to myself.Most of the time it would be Captain Underpants or Magic Tree house.Now that i’ve grown up the books have gotten bigger and sometimes I have to write essays on them.I am not great at writing, I always had a hard time thinking how I wanted to start the story off.After awhile I got better at it. I know that reading more will help me more through life because the more you read the faster you will get.My reading level of how fast I read is low.It shows that I myself don’t read as fast.Most stories give a moral or lesson that is good for me and I think it helps you be more creative. All stories have a Main idea or a short summary of the story.Most of the books I like to read these days are nonfiction that have to do with history. The difference between fiction and nonfiction is fiction is not real and nonfiction is real.Reading and writing is a major thing in all classes in school whether it's
Thanks to hours and hours of bedtime stories, I was able to read from the age of 3. In kindergarten I read to my classmates, and by second grade I was reading series like The Boxcar Children and Trixie Belden. Books allowed me to get lost in other worlds full of adventure and excitement. My love for what words can do has extended through high school. I pride myself on my book collection, anything from Hunger Games to The Picture of Dorian Gray. I’ve continued to read all the way through high school, some books four or five times because I love them so much.
When I was a little girl I treasured reading. One of my favorite books to read over and over again was Where the Wild Things Are written by Maurice Sendak. As I got older I lost interest in reading for
I learned to read very young. My Grandma was an aspiring author and created a simple learn to read system called “The Look Book”. I loved the ability to read so young. I was a little celebrity in my mom’s group of friends, they would watch her quiz me in awe of my reading comprehension skills when I was just three years old. Someone even contacted my mom about sending me to a special school for gifted children. I wonder how different I would be now if I were sent there; Maybe my math skills would be fantastic. Reading taught me what an escape was at a very young age. The best feeling in the world from a toddler’s perspective is shutting the door and being able to curl up inside my cold sheets for hours, only hearing the sound of the turning page. The ability to visualize the story as if a movie is being played in your head. Reading was my escape. Reading made me feel safe.
As a child growing up, I never really enjoyed reading or was ever good at it on my own. I never could understand the words and what they were trying to say in a story. I was able to read the words but putting them together was always tough for me. Whenever my teachers would ask me to summarize what I read, I would panic and break down greatly. I never could remember what I was reading after I had read it to myself or even aloud. This always caused a great amount of stress for me, especially having to read aloud to the class. I was never good at reading aloud and always felt so embarrassed to do so. I would despise going to class because I always seemed to get called on to read aloud the most. In elementary school we would get taken out of class
One of my greatest passions is reading. Whether it’s a biography, a thriller, a newspaper or even blogs, you’ll find me reading during my free time. When I was younger, I enjoyed reading during meals. While others were watching TV, I was either busy reading the bible or going through the newspaper to learn more on the current events. As I grew older, the habit grew and when I went to college, I had an easy time going through books during my research.
In my younger years, I loved reading. My mother would read me stories every day and I loved the way it would spark my imagination in every way possible. I could so vividly picture what was happening throughout a story my mind would jump straight in as if I was the main character throughout the whole adventure. As I aged, my mother would stress the importance of reading and every night I would insist she read me stories before bed.
Do I like to read? Well of course I like to read. I read for many different reasons. One being because when reading it tends to relax my mind. For example I could be upset at the moment and most people would probably pitch a fit well no not me. I love to pick up a good book to make me forget why I was even upset. Reading is more than just reading the words reading is like therapy to me it helps me control myself.
Literature is an important factor in people of all ages' lives, especially young children. If young kids can learn to love reading and writing at an early age, it will carry with them throughout their teenage years and adulthood. This is the reason that I started the Learn to Love Reading project as my Silver Award. I spent 50 hours of my own free time planning, organizing, fundraising, and executing. My overall goal was to establish this light inside of kids so that they can love reading for all of their lives. To do this I constructed a team of 10 kids my age to help run a four-week reading program for children grades 1-3. I organized a weekly theme and ordered dozens of books to go along with that theme. I also created crafts for the kids
From an early age I loved to read. At just two years old I would beg my mother to enroll me into school. I watched as my older sister meticulously picked out her outfit each night in preparation for the next school day. At such a young age I somehow knew that this thing called “school” was the answer to something spectacular. My home was chaotic and reading became an escape and helped distract me from the unpleasant family dynamic.
Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy
At this point in my life, reading would definitely not make a list of my favorite things to do, but this wasn’t always the case. Some of my youngest memories involve reading, and many of these memories are enjoyable. Every night before bed my mom would read to me, and I remember begging to read just one more before she tucked me in almost every night. This is when my love for reading sparked. Throughout grade school, I continued to read frequently and never found it to be a chore; however, once middle school hit I no longer included reading as a past time or found it pleasurable. Looking back now I realize this was when English class included more forced literature, and school consisted of reading extensive pages in textbooks. Reading
As a five year old I loved to read or be read to. When I grew older, my love of reading grew with me. I read any book or magazine I could find. One of my favorite memories I have is reading all the child magazines I could find while waiting to get my tonsils removed. My dad and I did all the puzzles, found all the differences in the “spot the difference” pictures, and he read me all the articles. It is one of the best memories I have of my dad and with reading. Along with reading magazines, I also loved to read books. Some of my favorite books to read as a kid were The Giving Tree and Brown Bear, both by Shel Silverstein. I was so obsessed with The Giving Tree that you might think I would grow up to be a kind, caring, generous person, but you know what it means to assume.
When I was in kindergarten, I first learned how to read. I fell in love immediately. Every book I read gave me the impression that I was in another world going on an adventure to learn new things. I felt free when I began to read, reading books contrived the feeling to escape from the daily task a kindergartener goes through. Reading helped to let my imagination run wild,challenge my mind and brain.
