I was Born
Hadn't read yet. Although during this time I was learning language and this contributed to my reading abilities later in life. -
My First Book Read To Me
It was called PUPPY and I still can't find who the author is. My grandmother used to read it to me. -
My First Book With Sentences
It was called "Who will be my Friend" by Syd Hoffman. I remember starting to sound out words with this book. -
I Learned How to Read
I learned how to read in 1st grade. I remember being the worst reader in the class and then with practice became the best reader. -
My First Class Book
It just so happened to be a classic "Charlottes Web" by E.B White. We took turns reading the chapters in class to help us understand words and practice reading. -
Started to read Chapter Books at Home
I remember they were called The Great Illustrated Classics and included books such as "The Secret Garden" and "Tom Sawyer". -
Started Reading Teen Novels
The first teen novel I read for a class was "Summer of my German Soldier" by Bette Green. -
Read my First Shakespeare Play
It was "Romeo and Juliet". My love of anything Shakespeare began. Also, it was the start of me enjoying reading different forms of writing besides novels. -
Started Reading Adult Novels
These novels were mostly read for high school which included "Heart of Darkness", "Tess of the Durbervilles" and "The Great Gatsby" just to name a few. -
Found My Favorite Novel
My favorite novel is "The Time Travelers Wife". This is important to me because I remember reading many books but didn't have a favorite. -
I Now Explore Different Genres of Literature
This is important because I now like to read different genres and I like to enjoy different forms of writing. I feel that reading different forms of literature will expand my reading comprehension. I enjoy reading mostly fantasy and science fiction such as "The Lord of The Rings Trilogy".
