    vivid memory I have of reading is when I was in third grade, my teacher use to read books to us at the end of everyday.

The library was set up to where each grade level had their own books so kids were encouraged to pick books that weren't to difficult for them to read. I wanted to prove that i could read a higher level book because I have dyslexia and other kids thought it was funny when I would mess…

Parents and teachers alike are concerned that the extreme themes will rub off on their children and provide their children with bad role models. Though “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” has bad language and racism, it is rich in vocabulary and other literary devices and should be taught in middle schools and high schools.

    Delotell’s Class Out of all the books I've read this year I've only found one that I truly liked. Don't get me wrong choice reading is still better than having to read a book that a teacher assigned. It always felt as if I chose wrong or I couldn't remember what was happening in my book because we had the class book along with our personal book. I think I found it easier to get back on track when I got distracted. I found it entertaining. Many of the other books just did not have the same…

    think I should tell you that I have ADD, mild/moderate dyslexia (hence a few grammatical and spelling errors), and social anxiety, which is half the reason I go to Hogwarts online. I tried actually going for a few weeks but I ended up destroying a book from the Restricted Section by doodling in the margins and nearly had a panic attack once I realized what I had done. It didn't go well. I was born in 1100 BC in Greece (making me 3,113 years old), along with my little sister Emmalisanine Keres…

Reducing the amount of literature that is available for young aged children can positively influence their behavior in any situation. Although The Secret Life of Bees exhibits the freedom of speech and tools…
