I knew how to read before I began school so when I got to kindergarten my teacher let me read books such as Dr. Seuss to the whole class during read aloud time.

In second grade we had creative writing time and my best friend and I would have competitions to see who could write the longest stories.
-
I was one of the top readers in my class as I normally read two books a week and wrote summaries about them. My favorite books to read were the "Dear America" books.

Each month in fourth grade we were required to read 500 minutes a month. If we turned in our 500 minute calendar complete three months straight we were able to pick out a free book of our choice to take home.
-
In sixth grade we had to read specific books and take Accelerated Reader tests and earn a specific amount of points a month.
-
In sixth grade because of the AR tests I read many books and was one of the top 10 in my middle school for the amount of books I read.
-
My freshman year of high school we read a list of classics plus our choice of a book each quarter.
-
Throughout high school I read not only the 15 assigned books but also read at least three books a quarter.
