My History as a Reader

  • Kindergarten

    Kindergarten

    At age 6, is the time I can remember the most being read to. I remember our teacher reading so many books. My favorite was the Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. It stuck with me a lot as a child because of the fun crafts we did and how easily it reminded our classmates to be kind and to share.
  • Elementary Library

    Elementary Library

    My Elementary days I remember our librarian. When library days came around, she always started our class with reading a book. She read to us so many books, as well as our teachers did. I loved when she would read to us because she did so well getting into character, that made the books even more fun to listen too.
  • Junie B. Jones by Barbara Park

    My school had some kind of event going on, where a lady dressed as Junie B. Jones came to our school and read to us. I remember her very well. She dressed as the character and even acted like her. I remember thinking she was the coolest person ever. She read to the entire school, It was like watching a play.

    Book Club

    I joined a book club in 6th grade. I was excited and hoping it was going to make me love reading more. I ended up hating book club and I feel as if it's because I didn't enjoy the books we read. It was a big book full of multiple stories.
