Why I Want To Read

The reason why reading is one of my values is because I love it and it helps expand your vocabulary. Reading for me is like watching TV in your head but you get to decide what things look like and what people look like, or how you interpreted it, no one could think you or see the exact same image you do. My mom taking me to library almost three times a week when i was younger is what has helped shaped me into loving to read. Most kids would go to the library to play on the computer while I would go to the library to read, the thought would never have even crossed my mind about playing on the computer because i was so in love with reading. I think reading is an amazing thing to do as long as you can find the right book to

I have many weaknesses when it comes to reading. One of my weaknesses is I am a slow reader. One more weakness I have is it is hard for me to find books I am interested in. It is also hard for me to pay attention to a book because I can’t usually find one I like. I have some strengths when it comes to reading to one is it doesn’t bother me to read in front of people.

If I could describe my relationship with reading and writing it would most likely have to be, improving. Of course I would assume the same happens to all students that their reading and writing skills improve as they continue with their education. For me reading has been a passion, so my reading skills are pretty advanced and I can say I am able to read well. In my case, being a child of two Hispanic parents, I do have a slight accent that can get in the way and make my reading a bit rough. Usually it is not so bad, only on certain words that either I do not know how to properly pronounce or certain letters that my accent acts as a physical barrier where I have to sound it out more carefully or work around my accent. While that is the #1 major setback I have during reading. Even with that setback I can still say that I am confident in my reading skills, reading at a well speed, improving, reading various books all that combined allows to be able to read almost anything. What I do enjoy about reading is that I see it being able to bring myself into that world that the author is writing about or to envision the story they’re telling as a movie. I like the idea of just sitting back or laying down with a good book for hours and getting deep into whatever I am reading. Personally once I pick up a good book it is usually hard for me to put it down without the paranoia of not knowing how it ends will eat me up and I usually finish a book within a few days.

My main goal is to read more. When I mean read, I mean read at least twelve books. I rarely read, so twelve books is a lot. The main reason I don’t read is because I am a picky reader. I only read books that have a bit of romance content in the book because I love reading these kinds of content, and I get bored if there is no romance. As a result, I should train myself to stray away from that topic and explore more genres because on the ACT, there are never passages about romance, which doesn’t help me out at all. By reading different kinds of books, I won’t get as bored reading ACT passages and train myself to read more. By reading more, I can better my Lexile, my ACT score, and my speed for reading since I read pretty

When I was a younger I don’t remember if I was read to or not, but I read a lot of books. I enjoy reading books because they allow me to reach new heights in my imagination. At my age many kids say that reading is boring and is for losers. I think it’s cool to read and will continue to read throughout my life. I have read many different types of books from fiction to biographies. The longest book I ever read was a book called Dragon Rider by Cornella Funke. It was five hundred and thirty five pages! When it comes to reading I am a superstar! When I’m reading I am able to get a moral lesson from what I read, so it ends up helping me in the long run of my life

“As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive,” wrote Malcolm X. As I grew up I really wasn’t a reader. Slowly as I continue to read I started to enjoy it .Today I love to sit and read a good book every now and then. Maybe someday I will write my own book.

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

From an early age I always enjoyed reading and read often. As a result, reading became an aspect of print literacy I would consider a strength. I still enjoy reading greatly and would say that I am a highly active reader. A large benefactor in this, in my opinion, was the creation of eBooks and e-readers such as the kindle. Having owned a Kindle for many years, I can say with certainty that it has made books easier to read and a lot more accessible

I rarely spend any time focusing on one specific task. My mind often wonders and I start doing multiple things at one time. In one day I multi-task for roughly 7-8 hours. It is pretty easy for to turn to non-computer activities if I'm not around people. When I am doing an activity I do not want to do, such as read or doing homework, I will take breaks. The most common task I try solely concentrating on is reading and even then I am constantly taking breaks. Whether its to eat, listen to music, go on social media, or watch television. Eventually those 10-15 minute breaks turn into hours. When I'm not trying to avoid reading I find myself thinking of other things and not comprehending what I'm reading because of it. I will not read for pleasure

Have you ever wonder if it was worth it to read the book? People have always wondered which was better. Reading can help improve your memory, concentration, and brain function. People have always had their own opinions about which is better. I personally believe that reading the book is better than the movie.

I have always had a burning desire to understand. To understand what exactly, I never truly understood as a child. I was inquisitive, always asking questions and no doubt driving my father slowly insane with endless interrogations beginning with, “why?” School was not enough for me when I young; I quickly grew bored with the slow pace of my instructions, and so my father gave me books. First there were stories, but I quickly exhausted them. In an attempt to slake my voracious hunger for reading, my father gave me books meant for children much older than me. Books that told me of the anatomy of the human body, how muscles were bound to bone through tendons and how tiny structures called neurons orchestrated every thought and feeling anyone had ever

This year as a reader, I wasn’t very strong. I didn’t read much and didn’t put my best foot forward to work. Until my Winter reading report came out it dropped from a 10.2 too a 6.8. This is when I realised that I need to start putting a best foot forward towards work. The star reader really gave me a motive to do better in English. If you could describe me as a reader it would be someone that needs motivation. Motivation drives me to be better. My grades weren’t spectacular this year, but that is something I can work on. After reading more and finding books that I actually liked my reading level went from a 6.8 to an 8.8 .This shows that reading will improve my reading skill.

Everybody reads. Everybody has picked up a book at least once in their life and flipped through its pages. Everybody reads, but once they reach that final page, do they feel an indifference, or do they feel a personal connection? From early childhood to young adulthood, reading has always been a part of my life. Reading had always been important to me because as a child, I was very shy, and being an only child, I had a lot of time on my own, so I often turned to books to fuel my urge for adventure. Reading became personal to me at a very young age because I read as if I was living in the book myself. Ever since that point in my life, my joy of reading continued to flourish. The pages of my books grew thicker and thicker as I aged, and the genres broadened and the vocabulary matured. Literature has played a meaningful role in my life since the very beginning and helped shape me into the kind of person I am today, it has influenced my personality directly, and the close relationship I hold with literature.

This course has expanded my knowledge and view of reading and writing vastly. Following each paper, reading, and class discussion I learned more about myself as a student, and the world as a whole. I have found the books Rules for Writers and Ways of Reading thoroughly helpful throughout the course. This class entails a variety of aspects of the problem-posing concept of education; it truly involves the students and teaches them to think, read, and write individualistically, analytically, and clearly.

Reading has always been a struggle for me. I often find myself lost in the text, having to reread what I just went over because of a lack of interest. I have to keep reminding myself to stay focused on the course work that I am doing in any reading class. Math and Science have always been my strong suits. The quantitativeness about them, how there is always a right and a wrong answer, is what I love. This isn’t always the case in reading though. Don’t get me wrong, I do like to curl up to a fiction book every now and again, but it really has to grab my attention within the first few pages. In school, the same held true.
