Literacy Timeline

  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    The Very Hungry Caterpillar
    I remember when this book was read to me I thought caterpillars were amazing and cute simply so magical.Then one day they brought some real caterpillars for us to see and play with; I was so scared ,I screamed, and cried a little. The point is though from a young age I loved books either reading them or having them read to me,it all seemed so wonderful.
  • The Rainbow Fish

    The Rainbow Fish
    I don't remember much about this book ,but that it bored me to death because it was overly read to us so much although the message it gives is sweet.
  • The Beauty and the Beast

    The Beauty and the Beast
    I remember this book made me somehow like sad books not just the perfect fairy tale books because I felt so bad for the beast and I think I wanted to cry after reading it even as young as I was.
  • If you give a Mouse a Cookie

    If you give a Mouse a Cookie
    The very first thing I thought when I remembered this book was how much I loved it, every time I read it I liked it even more.It was just so cute and simple it made me want to read more and more books especially go out on my own and look for new ones to read.
  • Green Eggs and Ham

    Green Eggs and Ham
    I really only wrote about this book because it's a classic and I remember reading it so many times and this book made me think well what things are real or simply fantasy,"did the green eggs really taste so good", it just made me wonder more about everything.
  • The Keeping Quilt

    The Keeping Quilt
    I remember this book made me rethink about different people all around the world because the people in this book were from Russia. I remember feeling so bad for them because they didn't get to be home, but I wa young and didn't understand exactly why peope did what they did.
  • Chicken Sunday

    Chicken Sunday
    What I remember about this book was that the title never made any sense to the story in my head, buy maybe now it would.What is important about this book was that it was read to me at our library days in elementary school. Every sinlge week that is what I would look forwardd to library days to get new books read to us and we would also get to check out new books everytime, that excited me so much, it was really what I looked forward to.
  • The Junie. B Jones Series

    The Junie. B Jones Series
    I remember by this time I was so committed to this series and just reading in general.I would literally read the books within an hour because I could not wait to get to the next one,but I made sure I read every single book in the series.Throughout this small time period I just wanted to get faster and faster at reading, read much higher level material because I knew I could do it.
  • The Judy Moody Series

    The Judy Moody Series
    I clearly remember all throughout 2nd and 3rd grade I was obsessed with reading books because I wanted to read more for reading counts and read faster and higher level books to get a higher reading number that was my biggest goal all year long.I did accomplish it and although I didn't like the Judy Moody series as much as Junie B . Jones I made myself finish it.
  • The English Roses

    The English Roses
    I remember wanting this book because it looked so pretty, but it made me realize people are harsh and the book was kind of weird in a sense so different than anything I had read at the time. I read it over and over again to make sure I really understood it and got every detail
  • Twilight

    Twilight
    I clearly remember reading this book I thought it was the absolute best book in the world and I loved how I was reading about teenage things and I was only about 11 years old.My goals were still the same as they were since 2nd grade I wanted to read higher level material because I know I could ,but I hadn't pushed myself enough yet.
  • New Moon

    New Moon
    I absolutley did not like this book at all ,but I made myself finish it and I did it even though it was summer and the book just was hard to get through.
  • Speak

    Speak
    This book was absolutely amazing.Yes, it was very sad, but after this book reading dark stories kind of became my addiction, lively books just did not seem to cut it anymore unless they had lots of drama.
  • Models don't eat Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Models don't eat Chocolate Chip Cookies
    This book just made me so angry ,but it was so good and I read it so fast. After reading it I wanted to start reading more dark stories and read more as much as I could.
  • Frankenstein

    Frankenstein
    I will never forget this book because I was so proud of myself for reading it. As a seventh grader, I read a college level book perfectly and wrote a book report on it. I was so incredibly motivated and proud.
  • Romeo and Juliet

    Romeo and Juliet
    This play was beyond amazing to read and act out. I made myself read it over and over again until I truly understood it. It was a little hard to understand at first because it was all written in old english ,but the story although amazing it made me so angry, how the characters acted.
  • A Child Called "It"

    A Child Called "It"
    The very first thing that came to my mind was that I cried through the entire book, it was horrible to think someone could treat someone like that. I literally read it in less than two hours because it was so well written within the first five minutes I could not stop reading. The book really made me think about how this little boy as an adult feels like now and how he got through it.
  • Cindy Ella

    Cindy Ella
    This book just made me fall in love with fairy tales all over again because the author wrote a very creative modern version of a cinderella story,What I found most valuable about reading this book was that I noticed I picked up certain reading rules like foreshadowing without even trying because by the middle of the book I knew all the answers to my own questions.
  • Dreamland

    Dreamland
    I really thin this is the second if not best book I have ever read so far in my life.The story was so realisitic and it made me realize that sometimes it not about the specefic level of a book,but how deep the meaning is and the content in this book some people would not be able to handle or understand no matter how goodf of readers they are.
  • Thirteen Reasons Why

    Thirteen Reasons Why
    This whole book was just so well written I thought I was reading someones personal diary ,but when readinfg this book it just made me think about myself and the people around me and why people do things ,just everything about life, it definitley opend my eyes.
  • Go Ask Alice

    I know I mostly enjoy sad and dramatic literature because this was my third book in a row I read that fits those lines, they're just more interesting and relatable.Although the fact this is all really happened somewhat kills me thinking someone went through all that she did and just die.I read this book twice to really understand her I just really wanted to pick up the true meaning and message of this story.
