I would rate myself an eight because it is sometimes hard for me to read books during choice reading due to the fact that some of the books disinterest me. It’s hard to read a book that is completely mysterious to a book that is all about love and marriage. However, if there is a day I have spare time for reading, then I will take advantage of that time because it is beneficial for time management and for the future. It is great to use it effectively because later on there wouldn’t be as much time for me to read because of my classes that I will take throughout the two remaining years in high school. I like choice reading since there is no negative effects of using my spare time to read. Reading is something that helps me to become a better
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.” I have always loved Dr. Seuss’ books, especially his book, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut. To me, this book gives me a good reason why I love to read -- which is to always learn at least two new things about the world or myself. When my mother first bought me the book, The Land Of Stories: The Wishing Spell, in 2014, I thought it would be a terrible book and I decided not to read it. A couple of months later, I finally picked up the book to start reading. I loved the story and wanted to read the next book in the series. I learned from The Land Of Stories: The Wishing Spell that anything is possible, if you put

I would give this rate because I really enjoyed this book. I thought the language in this book was very complex. I didn’t find the vocabulary very hard, but every sentence had a deeper meaning than on the surface. I thought that made this book was very insightful. I really related to Jacqueline because she was the youngest child in her family for a long time, and I am the youngest.

Overall I really enjoyed this book because I really could relate to most of Jacqueline's feelings. I really enjoyed this complex novel with all its imagery and vivid

As a reader and writer I always faced given assignments with the intent of doing exceptional jobs and take a sense of pride in my work to complete my tasks. As a reader, I will bore myself through out an entire book and realize I didn 't understand a single thing. Although as a writer, I can go on for so long losing myself on a topic because it feels more interactive. Reflecting on my experiences as a reader and writer have been very bold, I never really found a joy or an interest to become the exceptional student who stands out amongst others because, I always felt ok with myself and my results with the way I did things.
Personally, Bible reading has increase over the years tremendously. There were years of not owning a Bible at home, during my childhood or adult years of life. There was a struggle at one point learning how to read the Bible, that is, people talk about the story that was inside the Bible, but there was no personal reading time. The initial purchase of a Bible was in the year of 1993, by a door-to-door sales person whose Bible resemble a purse. Even then, the Bible collect dust on the self, because there was no attendance of church, personally or for my kid. I was not winning the mother of the year awarded during that time, spiritually.
My Star reading score was 1342, which is approximately 12.9, grade level-wise. I worked hard for this score, so I do believe that I read at a good level, because I have a passion for writing, literary style, vocab, and grammar, but I haven’t read a full-length published novel in a long period of time. Seeing my score makes me want to utilize my assets and start to read again! Actually, having this score makes me really glad, because it helps me to ensure that my optimum reading skill is above my age group and that I’m ready to pursue creative writing in college.
Reading has always been something that always bothered me and always despised since it always made me feel stupid when trying to read and understand it before. I also despised it because of past experiences that made me hate and abhor reading even more. These two past experiences will explain why I absolutely abhorred reading, especially in the past since these two experiences have made the most impact in why I feel about reading.
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
Ever since the young age of second grade I have loved books. I was always found with a nose in a book. Because of this I feel that I have a fairly good background on books and so therefore can determine if, in my own opinion, the book is really good or not. But as in all things there is more to learn and over the course of this semester I have had to stretch my reading capability to its very limits. I have really enjoyed this opportunity to read some of the most
If you couldn’t read or write, how would you tackle your daily life? Being literate is a crucial part of everyone’s life; reading and writing are essential for a person’s success. Every single day, it’s used, whether it’s for an Advanced Placement Language class or reading a billboard as you’re driving past. As a child, I grew up reading on a daily basis and I believe that I am as successful as I am on behalf of it. Countless memories have been created, thanks to the multiple books that have been read and the umpteen amount of papers that I’ve written. Throughout the numerous years of my education, my teachers and parents left a long lasting impact on my reading and writing skills.
