I chose this event because learning the alphabet is the first step to learning how to read. I believe I learned the alphabet around the age of 4. My mom introduced the alphabet to me before preschool so I was already familiar with them.
-
I added this event because I used to watch this show a lot as a toddler and I remember learning about letters and sounds. Sesame Street was a big part of my childhood.
-
In general, kindergarten is when each child learns so much. I added this event because I feel it is when learning the alphabet became solidified and being introduced to story time.
-
Mr. Rogers Neighborhood is another children's TV show that helped influence my reading history. It was a fun and interactive educational show that I remember watching often.
-
This event is very special to me because it is one of my fondest memories as a child. My mom used to take my brother and I to the public library every weekend for story time. I loved listening to the stories being told and sometimes puppets were incorporated. It's when I really fell in love with books and reading.
-
These were the first collection of books that I had as a child. I remember collecting many different ones and loving each one of them. Some of which were Scuffy the Tugboat, The Little Red Hen, Bambi and The Little Red Caboose.
-
Goosebumps was also a huge part of my reading history. This was the first collection of chapter books that I owned. I remember feeling so proud and excited to be reading lengthier books.
-
In high school I took a major decline in my interest for reading. I loved reading my entire childhood until high school when I lost interest in school in general. My grades declined and I went through a reading dry spell. I added this event to my time line because it was a large part of my life until I found my passion for reading again.
-
When I was about 23 years old I gave up T.V. and that's when I really found my passion for reading again. I went many years without picking up a book and when I gave up T.V. I started to engage in reading again. I also picked up the guitar, yoga, and started to teach myself how to speak Portuguese.
-
After I gave up T.V. my passion for reading was stronger than ever before. Nowadays, reading is a huge part of my life and I absolutely love it. What makes a huge differences is choosing books I want to read and enjoy. The library is one of my favorite places to go and the amount of books and types of books are endless.
