Kindergarten Class
Kindergarten is my first memory of reading. I was placed in the rainbow rug with Mrs. Bonnet. I remember running home after my teacher read, "The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush," to our class. I was very excited to know the name of the flowers growing on the side of the road and the story behind them. -
Reading on my own
I remember being so proud of myself for reading, "The Berenstain Bears,' all by myself. I drove my brother crazy wanting to read it to him constantly. -
Ohh, the excitment of Reading Rainbow
I loved watching the Reading Rainbow! "I can go anywhere,
Friends to know,
And ways to grow,
A Reading Rainbow." -
Dr. Suess
I was so heart broken when the librarian read, "Green Eggs and Ham," then told us Dr. Suess had passed away. We celebrated his books that entire week. -
Highlights Magazine
I ran to check the mail everyday hoping to get my new, "Highlights magazine." -
Book it
Yes!! Free pizza. Book it was an accelerated reading program. The more you read, the more points you got. The only prize I remember was free pizza at Pizza Hut. -
3rd grade
"The Babysitters Club," was my favorite series in 3rd grade. -
Nancy Drew
During 5th and 6th grade I remember reading a lot of, "Nancy Drew." I never got through the series, of which I am sure is one of the largest book series ever. -
First Book report
"The Island of the Blue Dolphins," was the first book I had to read and write a paper about. -
Indian in the Cupboard
"The Indian In the Cupboard," was one book the teachers made us read that I enjoyed. -
To kill a Mockingbird
"To Kill a Mockingbird," was on the 9th grade reading list. -
The lord of the Flies
"The Lord of the Flies," was a required book in 10th grade -
The Catcher in the Rye
"The Catcher in the Rye," was a mandatory book in 11th grade. It was not one of my favorites. -
Elmo Loves You
"Elmo Loves You," was my oldest daughter's favorite book as a baby. I read this book until it fell apart. -
5 Little Ducks
"5 Little Ducks," was my youngest daughter's favorite book. I have this book memorized. -
Junie B. Jones
I have read almost all the, "Junie B. Jones," series, to my daughters. Both of my girls found these books funny so I read these books through many years. -
Nancy Drew
My 10 year old (now 11) began reading the, "Nancy Drew," collection and now has me reading them with her at night. It's funny that the books I used to read are coming back to me through my children. -
The False Prince
I read, "The False Prince," with my 9 year old this summer. This is currently her favorite book.
