Mom
My mom read to me every single night from birth until middle school. -
Home Library
I had a lot of books always available at home. -
Dyslexia
I have Dyslexia, so I found reading difficult and learned not to like it. -
Tutor
My Tutor taught me phonics. My teachers in early elementary school didn’t emphasize phonics, so I had a hard time learning how to read. -
Public library
When we went to get books, I was always allowed to get a snack from the Café. -
Dog
My dog helped me practice reading because she provided company and a comfortable environment. -
Graphic novel
I never liked reading novels because they are too long, and I get bored. Graphic novels make the story come alive for me. -
Grandma
When I visit my grandma, we go to a bookstore because she loves to read and always buys me a book. -
English teacher
She assigned very boring reading assignments. We never talked about the books as a class. -
Research papers
My teacher in senior year assigned research papers for us to read without going over them and without explaining how to navigate them.
