When I think of reading I automatically think of boredom, or headaches, but I also think about fairy tails and imaginary places to go to. Even though I may not enjoy reading I am glad that I was taught to read, because without reading we would not be able to do anything, or know half of the information we know, because how else would we be able to learn new information and then spread it around.
My mom, a first grade school teacher, and my father would read to me all the time when I was younger. We read multiple books by Dr. Seuss. My mom, the book worm school teacher, also taught me some what how to read all the simple words. They also taught me the ABC's. So when I entered preschool I was already singing my ABC's and reading like I had already been in school. Mrs. Fogelman, my kindergarten teacher, then taught me what my mom taught me plus many more things on learning to read. Also in kindergarten we learned how to write words, which then became small sentences in first grade. Being in a public school, I was forced to do AR, accelerated reading, from second grade until the end of our seventh grade year. AcceleratedReading
So when I actually did start reading books without having to take tests and read them as fast as I could, I would not pay attention to the story, because I never did before. The only books that I have really paid attention to usually are topics involving romantic mysteries or vampires and werewolves. I have never enjoyed reading, but I have found a couple of books that have really interested me. My favorite books consist of: Twilight and New Moon, by Stephanie Meyer, and The Other Side of Paradise, by Steven L. Layne, and Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, and also Romeo and Juliet, by William Shakespeare. Great Expectations and Romeo and Juliet were two books that I read in my Pre-AP English 9 class that I ended up becoming interested in, which surprised me. All the books I listed above, including the two I had to read for class, are books that actually made me want to keep reading and never put down. Now that I am in high school I usually only read when I have class assignments to complete, because I never have the time to sit down and get into a book. Since I can never get into the books I read I become bored with them.Reading
