The book I got from my grandpa
When I was like 7 my grandpa brought a book to me from his trip to detroit. It was a book about cars. It was like my favorite book for a long time because I liked cars a lot when I was growing up. The book was about a bunch of different chevrolet cars and who made them and designed them and stuff like that. Thats why I was so interested in the book.
It was called like chevrolet through the years I think. It had a red corvette on the front of it. That book has made me wanna go to detroit just because all the car manufactures are made there and I would like to see that. But I liked reading that book because it was interesting to me and it was easy to read. My favorite part was about the corvettes because corvettes are my

It was about the history of baseball. But it was still hard for me to sit down and read it outside of school because I wasn’t interested in reading at that time. So it was hard for me to get the project done because I didn’t like reading outside of school so I had to read a lot when she gave us time in class. That is when I started to not like reading as much as I did when I was younger. But I still had to get the reading done so I had to just get the reading done so I got a good grade. That is what has made me the reader/writer I am today.
Junior year
Junior year in my english class my teacher made us read a book of our choice. She let us choose from here books and she let us go to the library to look for books so we could find one that we really liked. Even though we got one we liked it doesn’t make me all of a sudden like reading. No, I still had to force myself to sit down and read.
The book I found was called Rules. It was a good book about a girl that had a little brother that was not good at following rules. He always acted up. So when she baby sat him she wrote a bunch of rules in a book for him so he can try and remember and learn
I skipped a few pages and then read the first line "DEAR GOD". I was now hooked! It was like picking up a diary that I wasn't allowed to read. The words on the page resonated with me.
The book I choose was Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson. The book was published in 1999 on October 22nd. The book was also a finalist of the National Book Award. An interesting fact about this book, it was based off the author’s personal experience as a teenager.
I should have been opened up my eyes to reading and writing because I want to be a teacher, assistant. I always liked working with kids, and I will like to be a great assistant. Since there's no way to become a teacher assistant or even a teacher without having reading and writing skills, I will have to read and write more often. It is like King says "If you want to be a writer, you must do to things above all others: Read a lot and write a lot" (72, 73). If I want to be a teacher assistant or maybe a teacher one day I must ameliorate my reading and writing.
During summer while other kids were outside having fun, i was indoors with my AC on reading different kind of books because of a soccer injury i had. If it wasn 't for that injury i don 't think i would of ever gotten a book on my own. It all started with an injury to a book that became the book that kept me going to find more books to read. The book is called " A Child Called It: One Child 's Courage to Survive" by David Pelzer. Before this i thought all books were boring but this one totally changed my mind.
My first three years of school I did not get good grades and got held back. After second grade, I became a good student. I put in more effort and became one of the top students in my class. I cared about how I performed in school. Before I got an interest in reading my education was not off to a great start.
Knowing I needed to good on this assignment I read the book and continued with doing the book report, I was not motivated all at to do it but I did it because I knew I needed to keep my good grades. Once my first book report was assigned, we had more and more to do every week. It changed every week though, one week we got to pick the book and the other weeks, the teacher picked the book. My first book I chose was a baseball book.
Although I enjoy reading now, I used to have many hard days when reading felt like a chore. I remember my mother and me sitting on the couch reading together. There were days when I loved it and wanted to keep going, but there were also days when I would just break down crying because I could not understand it and everyone else did. I remember one time when we were
I would one day like to show how these experiences will influence my teaching strategies. The first book I have ever read was a Dr. Seuss storybook in kindergarten. kindergarten teacher called Green Eggs and Ham. My experience with reading this book was good because I
Today the books that always manage to get my attention are usually the books based on true events. My earliest memory of being read to isn’t necessarily being read to by my parents but being read to by teachers. Both my parents were always working, so they never had time to read to me. I didn’t have any older siblings to help me so when I started school, it was the first time I was exposed to reading.
Then when school starts we write an essay. This method doesn’t usually make me a happy reader and it makes me look down on reading which makes me want to read less. In this past summer, I was assigned 2 books, one was my choice and one assigned by the teacher. I enjoyed the one of my choice and read every day while I was reading it. Then I had to read the one my teacher assigned.
I appreciated that I could seek out books only I wanted to read and not because it was assigned. More times than not we are forced into believing that all the assignments were given in school mark the horrific reading pool available to us. We were not given time in class to read any books of our own choosing. My only opinion was to cram reading in between classes and work, it turned out to be a nightmare. It’s almost euphoric how encased I can become after starting another book.
During my elementary years, I don’t recall being interested in reading, but I do remember the first time I fell in love with it. I was in my 7th-grade reading class. I just completed a quiz when my teacher realized that I had nothing to do after. She offered me a book that I will remember for the rest of my life because it is the book that basically started my reading journey. It was called Tears of a Tiger by Sharon Draper, I loved the book so much that I read the whole entire series.
Ever since I was really young I have always really enjoyed the entertainment and laughs these pieces gave me. If you have a chance I encourage you to read this book because it is something any age group would
At the time i had no clue if it was going to be good or not. I liked the book surprisingly. if I have to read a book for a class i read it but this book I just wanted to continue reading. I made a lot of connections at the time because I felt people at school where being absolute jerks to me still are.
My experience as a reader isn 't as extraordinary as many, but I love to read. I had some great teachers throughout my education that taught me to enjoy reading challenge oneself and not be intimidated by it. Through college and today I do not have much time to read, other than school books speech, education ,and reading. Those are the sweet books I know read.
