Personal Narrative: How I Learned To Read
I didn’t learn to read or write until I was 7 years old. I was in my second grade class and my peers and I were sitting in a circle when the teacher called on me to read.

Personal Narrative: My Lexile Reading Level
281 Words | 2 PagesI think I am a good reader. I think this because my Lexile reading level is 807-957, which I think is pretty high for a 6th grader.

Personal Literacy Narrative
248 Words | 1 PagesOn most essay topics there are specific requirements that must be followed which can then limit the student’s ability to expressively write and cause them to feel less confident since their writing is restricted.

Although that tiny detail is not greatly needed, I put that in my essay anyway because I felt like that was something important to share. When it comes to stricter
