Learning to Love Reading I can hardly recall most of my childhood. I have had more concussions and brain trauma than I would like to admit, and it can pose many challenges; one of those challenges is remembering things from my past. This being said, there are key events in my life including reading and writing that stick out. I had never been too keen on reading or writing, and I was the type of kid that would never read or write on my own time. I either had to have it assigned to me, or if I…

I decided to teach a Reader’s theatre piece over the presidents’. I choose this because I am currently enrolled in Children’s Literature and we have been speaking about different reading activities that children can get excited about doing, especially if it’s different genres that wouldn’t be as “interesting” for kids.

As a toddler, I would try reading to my mom and make up little stories of my own. Growing up, I was diagnosed at an early age with ADHD (Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder). When I was not on medication, consecrating on homework or class work was always a challenge for me. Reading and writing has never been a passion of mine. The only time I would read a book or a novel…

nearly the reading processes we’ve learned. The Instructor taught us two dissimilar types of reading procedures. In the first reading procedure, he told us to distinct the reading into units. On the left boundary of these segments, he told us to write a small account of the section. On the correct margin, he had us magnet pictures that represents what occurred in that section.
