second book, which follows the Leviathan to the ancient city of Constantinople, capital of the Ottoman Empire.” (Westerfeld 440).

The most 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. However, one day she took us to the library and told us to pick out a book to read on our own. 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…

I have been reading ever since I could remember. I was read to when I was little as well. I do not recall learning to read, only that when my mother sat me down to start learning how to read, I already knew how. All throughout elementary school, I participated in the Accelerated Reader (also called AR) program. I loved it because you would read books, and then takes quizzes on those books. Depending on your score, you would accumulate points, and those points could be used to buy things from the…

This reduces strain while reading, which can cause eye damage. The pages in the chapter are well formatted. This is clearly seen in situations where she has to give detailed information or deeply explain her idea by good use of punctuation marks like brackets. An example is seen in the last paragraph of page nine. “But the work of various thinkers on radical pathology (I use this term to include critical and/or feminist perspectives) has…

Reading has always been a part of my life. Starting from a young child all the way up to where I am now I can remember many different ways reading has impacted my life. For some people reading is what they did to pass the time, but for me it has always been different. Being a small child I did not enjoy the outdoors in the same sense other children did. When I went outside I wanted to sit by a tree and read a book instead of run around and play on the playset. As I got older nothing really…

Looking back at being a buddy reader for an entire school year, I truly enjoyed it and am happy that I decided to be a buddy reader. The students I’ve read to all had different personalities and quirks. Some were quiet and attentive to the story, some would make comments as I read, and others wouldn’t pay attention. It taught me that despite the fact that all the students have a disability, they’re all still different and their disability affects them in different ways. It’s never right to make…

Who I am as a reader and writer Did you know reading to your child helps them throughout their entire life? It helps them with their speech development, logical thinking and expressing themselves. As a child my parents read to me and that has helped me grow as a student. Over the years I've come to realize that I am better at reading than I am at writing. Throughout this course I'm hoping to improve my reading and writing skills. As a child my parents would read books to me around bedtime.…

In the Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne is forced to wear a red A for adulterer. She was forced to wear her public shame for the rest of her life. If I had to wear a letter for the rest of my life, it would be an M for mouth. I am a very loud person, and I talk too much and I’m obnoxious. That letter would fit me really well because I have a problem with talking. Ninety-nine percent of my teachers say that I have a problem with talking, and don’t really like it all that much. Talking too much is…

to create a routine for myself to follow in regards to my reading. When I read, I will make sure I slow down enough to fully absorb all the details the author has put in the book. I often become so caught up in the plot that I end up skimming the pages just to find the resolution. To fix this I can take small breaks while reading to force myself to slow down and review the book. Writing- I would like to be able to better form smoother paragraphs…
