Reading History EssayClarissa Oraczewski Mr. WilliamsEnglish 11/20/09 From kindergarten to Elementary school I loved to read. My favorite part about reading when I was little is when my teachers and older people would read to me. I would sit there and picture every sentence they read. I remember when we used to have story time. We would all gather around on the floor as our teacher read exciting books to us.
When I was in kindergarten, I had my first experience with books when I was younger. Reading books not only helped me how to read, it also helped me how to spell and write too. When I started reading, it was very hard for me to spell and write too. When I started reading it was very hard for me because I am not good at reading or spelling so it makes it hard for me to read a book and actually concentrate. When I was younger I would read a lot more than I do now.
Elementary school was one of the funniest years of reading. All the books that I read were very colorful and they had a lot of pictures. My classmates and I read a lot of different kinds of books. There we mostly read kid books like The Cat in The Hat. My favorite book that I read when I was in elementary school was Where the Wild Things Are. This was my favorite book because I liked the pictures in the book. It was also easy for me to read.
I went to Glen Landing Middle School. At that school we started to read interesting books that would make you want to keep reading. Books that had good stories to them. I usually wouldn’t read on my own time in middle school. Whenever I would read it usually would be for language class and the books that we would be reading were boring so I usually wouldn’t read them. I didn’t read that much in middle school and I regret it now. I didn’t really have any favorite authors in middle school because I didn’t read that much.
High school was the first year that I actually read a full novel. I’m trying to read and write as much as possible because I’m not really that good at it and I know it’s going to be a main part of my life when I’m older. I like reading books in the suspense genre. They make me want to keep reading. I can’t sit still and read a book for a long period of time. I always get bored or end up getting distracted by something.
Some books that I’d like to read in the future would be exciting books and books that have a good story to them. If I read books like that I wouldn’t get so distracted and I would be focused on reading. It would make me want to keep reading instead of day dreaming about what I’m going to do that night. Reading is important to me because I really can’t spell good and reading can help me with that.
