Stage One: Your reading history and practice Besides what you had to read for school, how much did you read growing up? I did have any habits of reading.

I was more interested in what he was saying about how digital reading is not as bad as people make it seems. I felt therefore encouraged to further explore the reading. Because I was on my bed, I used a clipboard to hold my paper reading. I still had my yellow highlighter and the black pen, I used in the previous reading.
