I began learning how to read and write at the age of 3.
-
(2006-2007). Once entering kindergarten, I was able to write basic sentences without any assistance.
-
At the age of 6, I began reading children's books without the assistance from an adult.
-
(2007-2009). In 1st and 2nd grade, I felt really confident in my reading and began reading the "Junie B. Jones" collection.
-
(2009-2010). My confidence in reading dropped because I felt as though my reading skills weren't as good as I thought since I was placed into extra reading classes.
-
Since I practiced reading more at home, my reading skills increased to a 6th grade reading level by the time I entered 4th grade!
-
(2011-2013). I was told by teachers that my reading and writing skills were amazing and to continue the great work.
-
(2013-2014). My confidence level dropped in reading again because I was placed into the Avid program.
-
Since I've had the same experience happen in elementary school, I applied the same reading practice techniques at home which helped my reading skills again.
-
(2015-Present). Throughout high school and so far in college, I wasn't placed into any reading courses which made me gain an interest in reading again.
