My Literacy Autobiography

Literacy Autobiography
My mother read to me as a child for fun and school. She read us books such as, Go Dog Go, You Read to Me, I’ll Read to you, and To Kill a Mockingbird. My father read books to my sister and me, such as Fairy Realm, Little House, and Percy Jackson, before bedtime. I now find reading very enjoyable, even though my dyslexia has made reading more difficult.
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.

Even though reading is difficult for me, I have learned that I should not let anything stand in my way. I think that reading aloud and listing to them, and getting books read to me helped me a lot in my early years. I think book are to be enjoyed, not disliked.
