Explain Why I Want To Start Reading
I want to start reading a lot more. This means increasing my reading rate to at least 200 pages a week. I want to try to read at school and at home, especially before I go to bed. Although this isn’t a priority, I want to try to widen my range of books I read. By the end of this school year, I would like to have read at least 15 books. My overall goal is to prepare myself for AP English

    Educ 6706: The Role Of Increasing Literacy Skills In Students

    Educating and guiding students to read and become fluent readers is a life changing experience for the students. Increasing literacy skills in students prepares them for academic and professional careers. Educators must reflect on their own teaching practices and implementation of intervention strategies to meet the needs of all children while taking into account of their individual reading readiness: emergent, beginner, and transitional. As educators are implementing strategies and teaching practices, they are creating a literate environment that is conducive to all readers.…

    Personal Narrative: My Early Days Of Reading

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

    Diary Entries For Lord Of The Flies

    When I was done with school I didn’t think a single thought about reading when I came home . All I could think about was the football match I had later or the video games I was going to play. “If you read 30 minutes a day, instead of playing video games or being with your friends, you would be a much greater writer and your vocabulary will expand”, my dad often said. And I totally agree with him, but those 30 minutes felt like hours to me, and I was just too tempted to do almost anything…

    Reading Timeline Research Paper

    To Start off, I will be telling you a little bit of my background in reading and how I started to read. For as long as I can remember I remember my parents would read children books to me right before bedtime. It was the books that every kid loves being read to like Dr. Suess and Thomas the tank engine. My favorite books however where the books where there was big pictures because kids loves seeing the animation. I had a book where on each page you would press something on the page and the book would talk, which was really neat. I cannot remember at what age but maybe when I got into grade 4 or so, that is when my teachers started showing us how to read. We would read easy books but books with great humour, I really wish I knew what the books we read where but its been just a long time. I can just remember the joy I had as I…

    i want to read

    Anthem by Ayn rand is quite interesting to me. Throughout the first ten pages the book reminded me of George Orwell’s book 1984.with both books there is a constant, societies that force all people to be equal and, the main characters need to break out of that society. I feel sorry for Equality 7-2521. He was born different from his brothers and cannot change that and because of it he is inherently the social outcast of his society. His hopes of being a scholar are crushed as he is told to be a street sweeper and he cannot do anything about it except say “the will of our brothers be done (26).the part that has really interested me is how they speak of the unmentionable times “but we must never speak of the times before the great rebirth, [..] only the old ones who whisper about it in the evenings, of the towers which rose to the sky, in those unmentionable times, and the wagons which moved without horses and the lights which burned without flame. But those times were evil.”(19-20). I found this description very mysterious, and I like mysterious. Given the fact that this book is shorter than it appears I don’t think in the end Equality 7-2521 will be alive. What I think will happen is that it will end with him imprisoned like the count of Monte Cristo or something close to that.…

    on the side walk bleeding

    The total of pages that I have read over the total 8 weeks that we’ve been in school is 1151 pages, the number of pages that I averaged over a weekly reading rate was 143 pages. In my opinion my average weekly reading rate to me is pretty good to me knowing that my books had so many pages. I believe that my reading habits have improved over time from my first book until now. My homework of 2 hours of reading per week has grown a bit since I began reading the book I am on now , a plan of improvement is definitely needed if I want to reach the goal of 25 books before I graduate, My plan is to try harder on finding books that attract my attention.…

    Reflective Essay On My Writing Process

    My reading journey began in kindergarten. The school I attended for kindergarten passed out books to each student to take out and read with their parent. I would read one sentence of the book aloud and then my mom would read the next sentence. I would be sent home a new book each week and my mom and I would read them before going to bed. These books made me like reading because I didn’t have to read a whole book since my mom and I shared each line. This reading strategy was a good start for my reading journey. My level of reading increased exponentially during middle…

    Why Is It Important To Read?

    It seems as if the only time I read is when I am assigned something to read outside of class. I have been assigned articles and books to read such as, “The Outsiders”, “The Giver”, and “Romeo and Juliet”. Being assigned these reading assignments I would believe these are very easy to comprehend for myself. I would say reading these books were actually pretty enjoyable, especially “The Outsiders”, because I feel I have a connection with the main character of the story.The reason being because the main character had two older brothers and grew up in poverty where his oldest brother was the only one taking care of the family. In truth, the story basically tales of my life, where I have two older brothers that took care of me while we we’re growing up in the ghetto. It is pretty rare for me to read something outside of class or work, that I enjoy, unless it’s on a topic in which I can involve my own thoughts within it. The materials I would read outside of class would be stories or articles that have to do with violence in the community or just anything that has to do with with the government and its controversial ideas. The reason I choose not to read is mainly because I am usually spending time with my family or just occupied with my work and social life. The current reading habits I have obtained over the course of my life consists of only reading one chapter at a time…

    How Does Reading Affect My Life

    Because my childhood was so filled with literature,the fact that reading is such a substantial part of my life is somewhat expected. The reading material I read then has helped me become the person I am today. As young as Second Grade, I had already read the Harry Potter series, and countless other chapter books that had helped shape my childhood. Even though my preferred genre has evolved since then, my avidity for reading has not faltered. Because of my reading, I learned how valuable the skill of, not only being able to read, but being able to comprehend the text you had read is.This skill has assisted me mature intellectually, such as last year. When I was exposed to new reading material for school, I gained the ability to, not only read more advanced books, but to realize the message that the author was portraying in their novel…

In high school I read “Perfect Chemistry” , “Romeo & Juliet “ and “ The Book Of Hercules”. I hope to read “The Great Gatsby” while I am attending college.…
