My Reading Journey

My reading journey began at a very early age and was kickstarted by my family. My mother and father encouraged me to read as soon as I could do it by myself. However, I am unable to give all the credit to my parents. As soon as I could read I devoured books at a break neck speed whenever I got free time. Books became an island of fantasy where I would take my private jet mind to whenever I was stressed. I may have been exposed to reading by my family, but I lovingly drowned myself in a sea of literature

My Reading Journey Reading is everywhere, it is one basic skill that we all must learn at some point in our life. Whether it is reading a book, text messages, posters, or a billboard. Everybody has their own success story on who and what taught them how to read. Most have been taught by their parents as a child, others had the help of sibling and school teachers. Between my mom, older sister, school events and my teachers I could master the art of reading. At an early age, I discovered this deep

As far back as I can remember, being read to and reading has been a part of my life. Before I was able to read, I loved to listen to people read to me. Reading books helps develop a person’s knowledge and vocabulary. It also can help a person become a great writer. In my case, it hasn’t helped. I have never been a great writer. My literary journey has three main parts, reading, speeches, and writing. The biggest one by far is reading. My story starts with going on family trips, we would listen to

My reading and writing journey I learned to become a writer and reader and shape me as a person by changing my hometown to a foreign one–––The United States. Learning a second language is one of the biggest challenges of my life. Coming from a foreign country at age eight, not understanding what your surrounding are saying, was a daily frustration to me. I would look at the people and see the differences we had. I didn’t know that Asian also live in the United States, nor that they spoke

started from learning my ABC’s to writing two to seven paged papers. My literacy journey started in elementary school, then middle school, and then high school. It has not ended there because I still have college to go through for more learning. My learning path in literacy has come a long way. In my elementary school days, I learned how to say my ABC’s, how to write, and how to read. Learning my abc’s was fairly easy to me. It was only easy because of the catchy song that my teacher, Ms. Jones

My journey through reading and writing started once I started school. I don’t remember the early years but they laid down a foundation for me. It got me to where I am today. I love reading for pleasure but I want to be more open to different types of genres. I’m not the best writer but I try my best to write well. I have a strong approach to writing an essay but when it comes to actually writing, I don’t feel too confident. I hope that this year will help me become a better reader and writer. My

My reading journey has been a roller coaster from the very beginning. In first grade my life took a big turn when I moved from the Houston area out to New Caney. In Houston, we had just begun to learn to read, and I was right on track with the rest of the class. I felt normal, but when I moved everything changed. I was placed in the lowest reading group, and I was the slowest reader in my class. Then I was tested and place in a reading resource classroom for reading. My self-esteem dropped

"Taylor why can't you read this. This is so easy," I remember my younger sister Ashley saying to me. My path to literacy started in Kindergarten when I struggled to learn how to read. We had just moved from Kennewick, WA to Denver, CO a couple weeks before my first day of kindergarten. I had always been into playing school with my two sisters and pretending I was the nerd that knew everything when it came to reading and math. The real shock came to me when I started Kindergarten and everyone could

Tap. Tap. My fingers musically tap the spine of the book as I sit curled up on my bed. Thump. Thump. My heart beats just like a drum. My sister’s noise, quietly, if not stealthily fades into the background. As I continue to read, I’m getting closer and closer to the climax.... then… BOOM! Everything starts to make sense as I put together the pieces of this mystery novel. Ever since I can remember, I have liked reading, however I didn’t love it. But my memory does not go back to more than Kindergarten

There was a rug on the floor with the letters of the alphabet surrounding it, and my classroom even had its own personal restroom. Even though I remember my teachers and my classroom, I do not remember what I learned or how I learned. Learning to read and write is crucial for communication. Learning to read and write is a different journey for everyone; it could be an easy journey or a rough one. My literacy journey started in grade school, then junior high, then high school, and finally college.
