“Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” by Bill Marin, Jr., and Eric Carle would be the story that the toddlers would enjoy and also would be a good story for sequencing. After I am done reading the story to the children, I will have laminated pictures from the story that the children are able to put into order of who the bear saw first. If the sequencing becomes too easy for the children, then I will have another set of laminated images for the children to use. These images will correspond with the animals in the story, however, they will be real life animals. Sequencing allows the children to recall events that have already occurred.…

Adam is our first-born child and really has amazed us since day one. Even as a young baby, he was always very curious. At only six months he would love to sit and read books. He would curiously sit through several books at a time.…
Now I could lie and make up stuff that made me like reading and writing but I see no point in that. Honestly I don’t have a lot of memories of reading and writing from when I was a little kid and I can tell you now that football hasn’t helped me at remembering those memories either. With that being said I do remember some memories, some are good and also bad.…
A Brain with Books Literature has created an exceptionally controversial debate within the United States among scholars. Scholars have created multiple articles providing their argument over the way literature can or can not affect humans and make them better. Literature can and will make us better people, because it allows us as humans to empathize for others, enhance knowledge on diverse topics, and create moral standards. Literature creates scenarios, characters, and connections that allows readers to create a sense of empathy while reading. Receiving this sense of empathy while reading literature allows us to be better people, because it spreads humanity and is a sort of emotional intelligence in reality.…
My talent is creating, and my form of creating is writing. Writing is a thing I've been doing since I was in the seventh grade. I started writing then because of a troublesome past, both my mother and my father had left my two other siblings and I all alone, leaving us with our uncle. It was very hard for me to adjust, I was fatigued and emotionally hurt, I turned to writing. My love for writing grew into a bigger part of my life when I kept dream journals.…
A girl at school once asked me, “How are you in this constant state of reading?” I laughed because the answer is simple: I love to read. I chose books as a symbol because reading and literature is very important to my culture and my family. When my father was young, his grandmother used to read to him every day, and my father did the same for my siblings and I. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved to read, and I own many books that I keep on shelves.…

One specific time I remember learning to read was when I was maybe 6 or 7 and I was have trouble pronouncing the word “this.” I don’t remember what the title of the book was or what it was about but it was a short children’s book that had a couple sentences on each page. My dad was sitting with me at our kitchen table listening as I read the book.…
I kindly accepted that those people were my siblings. They were all part of my family, but I felt an immense distance. Whitney had her own mother standing by her. My eldest sister and brother shared the same mother, whom I never saw before.…
I sat in the back of the car with my head resting against the window, almost quivering in anticipation. The book in my hands was not long by my current standards, but 309 pages was a lot for an eight year old to absorb. After spending nearly a week carrying the first volume of Harry Potter with me everywhere I went, I was anxious and excited to finish the novel. At first, I had no intention or desire to read Harry Potter; on the contrary, the week before my dad handed me his copy of the first book, I had told a friend that it was “stupid” and not worth my time. I begrudgingly started reading at my dad’s request, soon marveling at the incredible world contained between the pages in my hands.…
Visualize a three-year-old learning how to use a clunky desktop with windows 98, which was decent in its time. My father purchased our first home computer in 2001, and ever since then I have had a computer. I started out only being able to use the default games when I was three-years-old to repairing them by the time I was 12 by being educated by my father or adopting skills from the internet. My mother never grew up around computers, but my dad got his degree in Computer Science, so he knew how to program and do some hardware fixes. I didn’t originally want anything to do with computers besides play games until a computer broke and we took it to “Geek Squad” to get fixed and they charged 75$ to find the problem.…
As a child, I didn’t like to read; I wasn’t very good at it. It always seemed that everyone else around me was better at it, so I kind of gave up. If I could get away with not reading, I would! On the contrary, I loved hearing stories and having people read to me, but I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, do it myself. Reading had always intimidated me; the words, the meanings, nothing ever made since to me.…
What vivid moments do you experience when reading, writing, or activities that involved them? Or what frustrated you about reading and writing? My experience with reading and writing start with my teacher from elementary all the way up to my teachers in high School, Ripley, Tennessee school district, and University of Memphis. My teachers during school remind me about the things I must do for class more than my college professors. In Ripley, Tennessee their district held up high standard on students with reading and writing.…
