The first time I wrote a book I was in fourth grade and this was my first project. The teacher gave the class a day to brainstorm about our favorite thing or things to do. I was so excited when I left school, I told my mom all about it. My mom’s first question is “So what’s your favorite thing to do?”. At that point I couldn’t tell her what was my favorite thing to do because I had too many things I liked to do. Later that day I sat down and tried to think about what I could write about, what

Today I am redeveloping my love for reading thanks to my little siblings, Alex and Faith. If it was not for them I do not think that light would have been relit. As a child I loved reading and it was something I did every day without even thinking about it. However, due to negative experiences in school I lost my love for reading and it was something I grew up resenting. I am so delighted to be redeveloping my love for reading because I forgot just how relaxing it was and how digging into a good

My interest in reading started at an early age, before kindergarten. I have my mom to thank for reading a book or two to me at night before bed. My mom has told me that because she was a stay at home mom before I started school, it was her main goal to teach me as much as she could by herself, before any teachers had the chance to, and that included reading a couple children’s books to me every night. My grandpa had a hand in this too; he bought me a Dick and Jane storybook and before long, I had

If I lived in Jonas’ community I would have a hard time leaving behind some of my favorite books, because inside the community you are only allowed three books a dictionary, rule book, and a book full of all the jobs in the community. My favorite books are How To Outrun A Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied, Ice Dogs, and Lara’s Gift. I enjoy the book How To Outrun A Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied written by Jess Keating, this is an interesting book with the genre of realistic fiction

Junie B. Jones is a twenty eight book series written by Barbara Park for ages five through nine. The series had been under close scrutiny due to the main character Junie B.’s lack of maturity and self discipline, also, her language and mispronunciation of words. There are some that even believe that Junie B. actually has some form of learning disability. But what if all of her disciplinary issues, her shouting in class, her immaturity, and even some of her speech impediments stem from not her own

“I’m different because everyone else is not me.” This as written by Julian Aguilar, a famous screenwriter for Hollywood films. It was my first day at a real school, preschool doesn’t count, and I was starting first grade, since I skipped kindergarten. It wasn’t always easy being the youngest in your entire grade, and sometimes, the whole school, but I made it through and even got into GATE. That’s what this story is all about. “Are you ready for your first day of school?” my mom asked me. “I sure

social life in surprising ways. Likewise, even through the simpler books I read as a child, I was able to learn many important life lessons. In grade school, I was reading 4-5 books a week. Junie B. Jones, The Magic Treehouse, Inkheart, and Song of the Sparrow all still hold a special place in my heart. Junie B. made me feel that I could do anything I set my mind to because of her rebellious nature and taught me to try to make the best of every bad situation. The Magic Treehouse taught me that I could

Five Little Monkeys books and later Junie B. Jones. The Five Little Monkeys books were enjoyable to me and I remember having this one amazing, indescribable feeling of joy while reading these books. Contrastingly, the Junie B. Jones book about the monster under her bed made me extra worried about monsters under my bed. When I was a little bit older, I read a book called The Mysterious Benedict Society, which was a long chapter book, unlike the Junie B. Jones books. The Mysterious Benedict Society is

Children’s literature is the basis of what shapes the way people think, how they behave around others, and the knowledge that they will carry for the rest of their lives. Every piece of writing, real or fiction, has a story and some lesson behind it. How the story and the lesson are presented will affect people in different ways. Some of these ways are going to be for the better and will teach children necessary morals for the future. For example, a common moral is teaching children not to steal
