I learn to read when I was around 5 years old and can fully read without any problems by the age of 6. To be frank, my first reading materials were consisted of comics, magazines and children books as my parents loved spending their free time by reading numerous magazines. We were never short with newspapers supplies at home but I rarely challenged myself to read the newspapers as they usually full with words beyond my vocabulary and gore accident images. I mostly focuses on comic-like-magazines such as “Majalah Ujang”, “Gila-gila” and “Apo” as the drawings were really funny and imaginative. In addition, I really like reading the side comments between one cartoonist to another as they throw pranks and they actually do interactions with their …show more content…
The ones that I am talking about are my own classmate and lecturer and have individually published couple of books and sometimes collabs in poetry slams. According to an article by Meredith Cicerchia, “by learning poetry one can improve his pronounciation because poems contain stanzas or verses that rhyme and follow a designated stress pattern. This is because English has words that sound the same but are spelled differently and also teaches you to rhyme and strengthens the memory of how that word is really pronounced”. She also stated that “while Shakespeare’s sonnets may not be considered prime material for mastering today’s spoken slang, they represent a fundamental piece of English language history and are referred to in films, books, magazines and conversations from every corner of the English speaking world. Discovering famous poets and studying popular poems in the language will educate people about native-speaker traditions, and help them familiarize themselves with literary and cultural history”. Therefore, I think it is such a waste for us especially the students to bypass the advantages of learning
To become a reader on the other hand involves more complicated processes. First, one must determine what type of non-reader one is: a lazy literate person, or motivated illiterate person. If one is the illiterate person who wants to read but doesn’t know how, congratulations on being brave and embarking on the journey of a reader. To begin your journey, start at the beginning, with the help of a teacher, tutor, or program, study and learn the alphabet. After this the hard part is over.
My favorite author was the writer for Goosebumps when I was 4 years old and we read many books from the Goosebumps series. I also developed an interest in chapter books. I was in the second grade when my mom and dad would read to me these books. We read together the Hobbit, Phantom Tollbooth, and Percy Jackson series. I also read some current events on my own in school.
I flew through each reading. I was the fastest reader in my class. My teacher would write my parents notes on how quick and successful I was at reading. Now, I enjoy reading, but not as much as I used to. I have to be in the mood for reading and finding a book to read for fun, and not for class, is a difficult task.
Essay In the book we read “Coming to Our Senses” by Neil Degrasse Tyson it talks about our senses. It states how our senses are limited and how different tools broaden our senses. If we had different tools in the older times then we wouldnt have not limited senses.
My Literacy Narrative I was never truly an avid reader when I was younger. I was the oldest of five siblings and left in charge of taking care of my younger brothers and sister. I was more prone to spending time outside than reading a book. Of course, I did find myself enjoying a good mystery novel, but playing ball would always trump even a good book.
My earliest memory with literacy ( that I can remember ) is my grandma taking my sister and I to the children’s section of the local library and making us sit down next to other kids in a bright green hairy *furry, shaggy* rug . All of the children sat surrounding a small platform where a short , chubby woman wearing a bright pink dress sat on a wooden chair . The lady in pink read many different books. That evening
From a very young age, about 5, I remember reading being the easiest thing I knew how to do. Most kids in my school hated it, but I had a passion for reading. The liberating feeling, and sensation of being able to do something on my own, encouraged me to read even more. Two people
The history of my literacy has been a long road of a frustration and learned lessons. As a child, I was a bit of a loner so reading and writing were the closest thing to a social life for me. The things that I bottled up inside came out through my writing and it became somewhat of a pass time for me. As long I could remember literacy as has been an important value for me in my life because from very young age I got express my true self without being judged by the outside. Even though in my later years I would deal with some heartaches and set back that lead me to give up on my love for reading.
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.
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.
Poetry is a skill that many people do not believe should be taught in schools. They think that it’s a waste of time, and that it has no meaning in our lives outside of school. I disagree, and I believe that there are infinite benefits to reading and writing poetry that a majority of us don’t realize, such as learning figurative language, developing a better understanding of problems that others are facing, and coming to have a greater appreciation for other’s Poetry should be taught in schools because it gives students a strategy to express emotions in a new way, and it contributes to the development of important life skills such as using and understanding metaphors and imagery. To start, there are numerous benefits to poetry that many
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.
Many critics may argue and say that technology in education is dangerous. It can waste a students’ time by getting him or her sidetracked by distractions they find online. However when students avoid technology in education, they have to spend long hours, days, maybe even weeks searching for certain information in various different books. Students that really want to learn will force discipline upon themselves. Even if students didn’t use technology, anything could easily distract them when studying.
In the second grade, I started public school. Everyone around me was reading and writing. Everyone bragged about learning how to read when they were only 5, some even two. Everyone pressed me to see how I matched up. Everyone knew what they were doing.
Learning to read is a great blessing. With every word a toddler figures out how to read expands his vocabulary and helps him to understand more. The first books of his education are simple books with simple words and meanings. As he grows up, the books and words get harder, and more complicated. With the Level of intensity growing, their minds are grow along with them.
