Like many other toddlers I was read to often. I was read books that had storylines with repetition and patterns. my favorite was five little monkeys!
-
Kindergarten is filled with reading activities. My most vivid memory of kindergarten is knowing the alphabet in every way possible !
-
I remember diving into phonics, vowels and syllables heavily in first grade!
-
In second grade we read Winn Dixie as a class. It was my first experience with reading a chapter book
-
It is a classic! In third grade we read charlottes webb. We read independently and had class discussions together.
-
In 4th grade I had my first book report ! I remember this because when I chose the book holes it was shortly after the movie came out.
-
5th grade was all about writing! I remember my 5th grade teacher expanding on our understanding on the text we read. most reading activities were paired with a writing assignment.
-
In 6th grade I remember pretty much reading independently for the most part. To kill a mocking bird was one of the books we read. My reading matured a lot.
-
In 8th grade we read of mice and men . Although we read independently we had many class discussions. I learned more complex reading skills.
-
High school was all about breaking down the text to better understand it. I also learned how to take notes which prepared me for college courses
-
After high school but before I enrolled in college courses I read a lot in my down time. all different genres , but my favorite were self help books. I was able to relate and apply what I was reading into my everyday activities.
-
I am able to apply all of the reading skills i have built over the years and apply them daily at work, in school and in my free time.
