Life As A Reader : My Life As A Reader

Many students who struggle with reading ask why should we read, what is the point? The point is that being able to read opens you up a whole new world of knowledge and imagination. But to have that new world opened up you need to be able to comprehend what you are reading. The primary goal of reading is to determine the meaning of

I first understood reading was important when I had to take a reading test in elementary. I was told the test would determine whether I would move on to the next grade level. That was when I realized I had to take reading important. I didn’t like having to read 4 different stories, but I knew I had to try my best to pass. The test results took forever to come in which made it even scarier. Once my teacher told me I had passed I felt a huge relief. Ever since I have never doubted the importance of reading.

One of my favorite and earliest memories of reading, is when my mom used to read to my little brother and I before bedtime when we were very young. My absolute favorite was Bears in the Night by Stan and Jan Bernstein. Eventually when I got older, a book a night was not satisfying me. Soon I read all the books on the book shelf. Spending hours in my room reading was my idea of “fun”. Going back to elementary school, I would check out about

Many of us go through our everyday lives not realizing the many things that have built us to become who we are today. We were blessed enough to grow up in a well-educated society, where we are constantly growing and bettering ourselves. We have taken this education or more so our “foundation” and utilized it to help build ourselves. Reading is one of the most substantial learning blocks, it’s something that we use in our everyday lives that help us reach our maximum potential in life.

The ability to read allows for education, enjoyment, imagination, and understanding. With literacy you can go anywhere: the correct path on the highway, a made up kingdom, or the center of an atom. Reading is not in jeopardy, but rather will remain an essential part of our lives for the next several decades, if not centuries. Reading has proved to be a durable form of entertainment for centuries, however there will likely be some adjustments to how we approach the activity in the near future.

When I was in Elementary School my parents, especially my dad preached to me to always read because your vocabulary will soon become sizable. I really did not care about reading for fun or about what my dad said. I know that it is my responsibility to read on my own but it did not help that most if not all of my friends in elementary school did not read books for a hobby. My parents tried to get me reading at a young age, but now I am starting to read a lot more than I did several years ago.

I believe reading is fundamental to a person’s growth. To me, the importance of reading is to help better understand the world around me and have success in life. I feel

The memory of reading for me started in third grade. My third grade teacher was Mrs. Freedman and she encouraged us to read in class and at home. We (the class) would take trips to the library to check out books to take home each week and we received a prize, if we could read at least five books a week. Now that prize was only a piece of candy, but that is all it took to persuade me to read. I believed I truly enjoyed reading until I move to fourth grade

This video, Reading Critically:Real-World Writers, discusses the many different uses of reading and writing. You may not realize how big of a part reading plays in our everyday lives. From the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep you are reading, wether its a text off your phone, a cereal box, your mail or a legal document. People read for many reasons such as understanding contracts, to know their opponent if they are an athlete, or to stay aware of what is happening in their career field as well as many other reasons. Reading can be hard work depending on the way it is written. Contracts, for an example can be very difficult for people to understand because of the more advanced wording. Most young people don't enjoy reading just

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

Personally, the reason why I’m an unengaged reader is because of my past. Not just because I cant find that one good book. As a kid I had issue with my speech, reading comprehension and reading level. This caused me to be in s special education class and had take all these testing that mad me hate reading. I just want to be like everyone

In this essay, I will talk about my reading life when I was younger and how I am now. When I was a young kid my parents would read to me. When I was in grade school they told me that education can go farther than other stuff. Finally, when I have gotten older I have started to read less and less because I’m not very good at writing and reading.

I was not always a reader, back in my high school years I read only because I was told to or because I had to. I would not even properly read i developed a technique where I would look at the questions at the end of the passage and scan through the book for the answers to those questions as I figured the questions would be about the main point. While that worked for me during those years and I was successful at high school there was no real love for reading. I got into reading actually when I became interested in the African cultures, because of my thirst for knowledge I began reading more and more and it eventually developed. I have disciplined myself to read everyday. I keep up to date with the news and so forth. I also read my daughters

I read many others books in elementary school. Reading was probably my favorite hobby, and it seemed very easy. At Clearview, we did Arty, and I read a lot of books for Arty. I had the highest score for Arty, and broke the school record. That was an awesome accomplishment, and I still have the little trophy I received. There was also a reading competition in fourth grade, and we received little plastic shapes to put on a dogtag necklace. I was awarded with the most tags, and a certificate for having the highest. Reading was a big part of my childhood, and I read many books other students could read proficiently. I always wanted to be able to read well, and impress people I cared about. I looked at reading in a positive way, and as something exciting. I think my early start to reading and experiences with reading as a small child really helped me appreciate books, and want to read more. It greatly affected my attitude towards reading. Reading was also my way to escape reality at times and have time for peace and relaxation. It still could be today, but I don’t have much time to

Growing up I never really liked reading. I always found it boring or a waste of time but as I got older I realized that reading is very fundamental. As a kid my mother would read the bible to me almost every night. What I really enjoyed reading were song lyrics. Music has been apart of my life since I was in the first grade. It started off with childhood television show introductions like SpongeBob, codename kids next door and also other television shows like class of 3000 and drake and josh. One of my favorite
