Reading

enjoyed reading but I didn’t ever have much time to do so. I don’t think I understood the true importance of reading until now. Growing up I’ve always heard “the more you read, the more you know.” I found that rather cliché but I have come to find that it is the truth. In the essay “The Freedom Education Brings,” by Timmika Ross and the article “Reading Remains The Key To Success,” by Alonzo Weston “the more you read the more you know,” is shown to be true. I remember when I first started…

It was October of my seventh grade year and I found myself sitting in Ms. Keyes’ reading class. One Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Keyes put us in groups based on our reading levels and interests. What interested me the most were books that were suspenseful, full of action, and ones that moved at a fast pace with a colorful cast of characters. Her goal was to get me to enjoy reading again; she made that her personal mission. When I walked into her fifth period class, she had the desks in groups of six.…

I thought that just because I could read in my head that I was reading at a fourth grade reading level. This just resulted in…

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 do think it’s important for the children to work on their reading, but what about social studies and science. There should be more time allotted for that. If the teacher wants the children to work on their reading skills, then they should purposefully integrate reading in social studies and science. The direct reading instruction is the reading time.
