me to read even before I began school. When I finally started school, I was an advanced reader, and I have been one ever since. Even though I was an advanced reader, my teachers would force me to read short, boring books that did not give me what I craved: adventure. The mundane books I was assigned to read caused me to resent reading for a while, but in third grade, I came across a series that quenched my thirst for adventure and challenged me as a reader. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series taught

The title of this book I read is called Michael Vey: Hunt for Jade Dragon. The author of this book is Richard Paul Evans. In this book the ElectroClan found out about little chinese girl who was kidnapped by the Elgen and they had to rescue her. Later on, the ElectroClan were captured by Elgen and had to make a quick escape. In the end, they had to save the Jade Dragon, which they did in the end, and they had to send her to another country so, she would never be found. Ben moved the Jade Dragon so

Reflections on Reading Some of my earliest memories about reading are when I was in Kindergarten my mom and I would read Dr. Seuss picture books before bedtime. My favorite one was the “One Fish Two Fish” and I always wanted to read it. Later on we stopped reading books and I fell behind on the reading curve for school. I began to dislike reading and I only did it when I had to, I never read on my own. No matter what my mom did to try and get me to read more it never worked This attitude continued

The book I have selected is titled The Spark, an autobiography about a determined and brave mother, Kristine Barnett, who dedicated the better part of her life to her son’s coping with autism. After examining a few titles in our school library, I was immediately drawn to the title, The Spark. Picking it up, I read the back cover where my eyes were caught with the line, “Jacob has an IQ level higher than Einstein’s”. Learning that the book is about a boy who is diagnosed with autism, something I have

listened to her. Books were just not interesting to me. We would have book fairs in our school library and I would always ask my grandma to come and buy me a bunch of books, but in reality I never even read the books that she bought me. I would wonder around the library looking for the perfect book then once I thought I found one, I would read one chapter then be done with it. Most of the time the books would just sit in my room until I got a letter from the librarian saying that the book was past due

a glance whenever possible. When school was dismissed, my nose would be buried inside a book. I would read anything I could get my hands on: my brother’s books, my mom’s Women’s Day magazines, and even the backs of cereal boxes. I would snuggle up in blankets, grab the latest Magic Treehouse book, and plunge into magical worlds for countless hours. Every summer break I would spend my time reading numerous books for my library’s Summer Reading Program. My preferences changed as I grew older. By age

my parents relocated us to Muskogee, Oklahoma. It is from these early days that literacy took control of my life. As a younger child, I do not remember a moment when books were not a crucial part of my existence. I eagerly awaited my father’s payday every week because that meant I could go to TG&Y and purchase a new Golden Book. Two of my favorite selections over the years were Little Brown Bear and Grover Takes Care of Baby. I may not have been able to read all the words, but through the pictures

learn how important family is, and they found a way to educate a member of the family to follow the light. Plato touches this subject as well, he states, “Be willing to descend again to those prisoners and to share their troubles and their honors,” (Book 7). Don’t let anyone be left behind. “The Croods” movie, along with many other movies incorporate Plato’s views, maybe without realizing

I was a six year old kid sitting on the floor with numerous other kids my age. We were sitting in a rather large white classroom blanketed in multiple posters of words and the alphabet. It was the first week of first grade and Mrs. Wilson had just begun to go over with the class words that rhyme with each other. CAT! RAT! My classmates and I shouted out examples and felt a little joy in receiving praise from our teacher, as she wrote them on the whiteboard. By the time we had finished we had filled

More than 11,000 books have been challenged since 1982 (Dankowski). In 2017 alone, 354 books have been reportedly challenged (Ala.com). Book banning is the practice of removing certain books from being taught or read inside of a school. This eliminates students from being able to easily access books. Books may be challenged from anyone but parental figures tend to challenge books the most. This is due to the fact that parents want to shield their children from sensitive content. Parents should not
