Self-Assessment
I believe I have grown as a reader. I have grown in how long my books are. I started with short books and went up levels to longer books. I think I comprehend more of the important events better than how I did last year and the beginning of this year. I think I actually read books that seem interesting to me. I want to make my goal to read a lot more history books.
