Importance Of Reading In My Life

I lost my mom when I was young so I didn’t have her there to read to me or teach me about things or buy me books. My father was and still is in the Army National Guard and was deployed for long periods of time when I was a child. It’s like there was a void in my life and literacy has always been a temporary fill. Growing up I had always been eager to learn more and know more about random topics. I was once so into soccer that I had only read stories about soccer players for an entire school year

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

empowerment within oneself and is the path towards a successful life. Throughout my life, knowledge has always been rested between the pages of books. Reading was my ultimate escape from the realities of life. My parents immigrated from Cali, Colombia to Queens, New York when I was only three years old. My education in New York is what deeply rooted my love for schooling. My parents instilled within me a set of beliefs that included the importance of education and literature. In recent times, literacy rates

Without reading our lives become significantly more dangerous, if we can’t see road signs, or ingredients in a recipe, or read a map. Overall reading is an essential skill in today’s world. My claim is that children should be required to read more because almost every job requires reading, and reading has a base

how to read and write. At approximately age four, my grandmother began teaching me the basics of reading and how to write the alphabet. The hours spent working with my grandmother influenced the love I have for literature. Although I have a passion for reading and writing, I feel this passion slowly fading with age. As I get older, I realize that reading does not seem as enjoyable as it used to be for me. Reading and writing has influenced my life in a thankful, a joyful, but also a slightly negative

miles.” Reading is a critical part of life, whether it is to read about the news that is happening around the world, to read a park that is the sign by teachers and classes, or simply just reading because we like to read. In many cases, kids who were willing to read comic books with a lot of pictures at a young age, often liked reading. Even though I was not into reading at a young age, I still read some picture books at a very young age, and it was heavily influenced by my parents and my elementary

young child, every night before bedtime my mom would always sit down on the living room sofa with my sister and me, reading story after story, until it was really past our bedtime. We read pieces of literature like “Charlotte’s Web”, “The Little House on the Prairie”, “The BFG” and my favorite, “Junie B. Jones”. But at such a young age, I didn’t realize that my mom was reading these fictional stories to teach my sister and me important lessons and morals about life. It is very important to read and understand

Don’t be concerned, but my mom is suffering from tsundoku. Tsundoku is a Japanese word used to describe the stock piling of books that you will never read. As long as I can remember my mom has been bringing home heaps of books from anywhere she can get them. Last year, she came home from the local library book sale with six bags of books. Yes, she loves to read, but she has not read any of those books in the past year. Waiting to be shelved, most of them continue to sit on our basement floor, collecting

missed out on the reading and writing train. I grew up in a house with a mom who loved literature and read often in her free time, my dad on the other hand probably has still to this day never picked up a book in his life. Growing up my little brother and I spent most of my time with my dad so we never really got to see the true art of reading and writing. Throughout high school I spent most of my time in the pool or glued to my phone which left me still oblivious to the world of reading and writing.
