My Reading And Reading: The Kinds Of Reading

Reading has always been a pass time I enjoyed doing, there was just something about the fact that endless stories could be created with a combination of words and phrases. Without a doubt, Reading expands one’s knowledge on endless topics as well as expands creativity through inspiration of the various works and forms or literature. Personally, as I grew older and more curious with reading I began exploring different genres to read. My causal reading went from basic non-fiction books to reading things like

As I look back on my childhood, I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t fond of reading. I love the way a good book just draws you in and it is almost impossible to set it down because you want to know what happens next! Looking back to my earliest moments I can always remember my mom and grandma always reading me books for hours and hours at a time. My favorite saying when I was younger was, “just read one more!” I couldn’t go to sleep without my mom at least reading me five books! My favorite was “The Little Mermaid” but I loved all of the princess books and I had possibly every one you could think of!

Reading, the word many children dread to hear, and I happened to be one of those children. Reading to me was a boring activity, and I never seemed to understand why everyone enjoyed it so much. People would always tell me to try to envision a story; only one that I could see. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried to envision a story, I could never see it. I assumed you had to be very dexterous to be able to imagine something so spectacular. With that being said, I always viewed reading as a detriment for myself. Recently I stumbled upon a quote by Edwin Wilson “No two persons ever read the same book”. If I heard that quote many years ago I would have never understood it, but now I seem to live by it.

Literature has always been a close personal friend. I've always been surrounded and engrossed with books. One of the first books I ever read was Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. I must've read that book a thousand times when I was little. When I was in preschool my friend and I comically read along to the book. I credit most of my ability to read early on to my elementary's school librarian. I remember vividly in kindergarten our librarian teacher holding a book in her hand showing off the pictures. I was completely enthralled, more so than probably other children in the class. As time went on and I passed from grade to grade, I started to read books from the school's library. Most books I read were about tornadoes. I've always been fascinated with how

My mom has always been a huge reader. As a child growing up I remember her reading a lot, which probably influenced me into reading. As I got older and started to learn how to read she would always encourage me into reading and would say something like “All the smartest people in the world like to read”. So at a young age I grew into loving the images that were put in my head through reading.

“I am not a speed reader. I am a speed understander,” wrote by Isaac Asimov. The majority of people who read daily understand quickly and better than those do not read. The more they read, the more of a perfect reader they will become. For me, reading has been indispensable because it is the fundamental imperative and the key of success. Over my life, I realize my reading experiences have become challenging, creating an impact on my personality.

In 4th and 5th grade the teacher started putting us into different reading levels and because I didn’t take reading seriously, my first reading levels were low. While reading in class I started noticing that there were some books that I didn’t enjoy reading. That was when I started recognizing the different types of books there were in the classroom. When I picking up a book there are some things I look for before reading it. I enjoy reading mystery books because they make me want to predict what is going to happen next and make me want to continue reading to see if what I predicted was right. I also like to read reviews about the books online. I tend to read books that other people think are great. Therefore depending if someone likes the book or not usually influences me to either pick up that book or put it

The people i look up to and helped me with reading are my teachers and my parents.

Reading has impacted my life in many ways. The two books that impacted my life greatly are Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick. It helped me through every crisis I had in life. It increased my understanding on things I knew little about. I am very appreciative to the authors of these novels because they helped me to grow into the person I am today. Tuesdays with Morrie gave me some helpful advice that others could not give me. It taught me that we must have no regrets and should always be true to ourselves and others. Never Fall Down informed me of all the violence other countries face and the hardships they went through. It taught me to love for my family because most of those families who went through

I have always loved to read. In fact, Dr. Seuss’s children’s books were my favourite and I still keep them in my shelves today. Reading filled my imagination and gave me inspiration since childhood that still impacts me today.

My experience with reading started as most do. I was exposed to the easy-readers that every little tot has seen. Obviously, I learned to read and write in kindergarten and beyond; I owe some thanks to the teachers of my early years. I was never much of a reader when I was a younger child. I read from time to time but never constantly. If I regret one thing from my childhood, it will be that I never read enough. In a sense, I have taken it upon myself now to compensate for the lack of literature in my life when I was a boy.

I have always been interested in learning new things, especially by reading about them. I know a lot of people enjoy reading, but usually they enjoy reading for their own pleasure and like reading things such as fictional novels. I, however, do enjoy reading almost anything. I am interested in reading about things that are educational and things that many people tend to find boring. I know in college there is a lot textbook reading and nonfiction, but I would actually be interested in reading that. I would learn a lot from reading for classes and I would enjoy

- My older brother and sister were good students and they read a lot outside of the classroom so that really encouraged me to read and develop my own skills so that I could read what they were reading.

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

C. S. Lewis once said “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”, which is extremely similar to my personal outlook. Novels have given me an extensive amount of rewards over the years. The knowledge reading has given me has been extensive; additionally, literature has been nothing but a boon to me. I have always considered myself a rather advanced reader, and having the skill of advanced comprehension while reading has been an extremely useful tool that I continue to utilize. As I write, I use the countless hours of experience reading to create an insightful and logical paper. For as long as I have been able to read, I can always remember being much more enamored with what I would find in the library or at home much more so than that of what was given to us during class. Books from class would simply make me want to fall asleep, meanwhile the books I would find for myself would create a door into another world unlike any that I had seen. Due to books giving me a friend, gifting me with an improved attention to detail, and a superior (and sometimes odd) vocabulary, reading has improved my life by a large margin.
