-
Started learning to read because my best friend liked books; my sisters taught me. -
Barely knew English, so learning to read was challenging but exciting. -
Participated in Accelerated Reader (AR) program; reading daily helped me fall in love with books. -
Read 30 minutes every day, building consistency and growing my reading stamina. -
Checked out 3 books at a time; would read for hours at home. -
Could finish a chapter book in one day if I dedicated enough time. -
Read the series 6 times in one year; sparked a love for fantasy. -
Started building my own library at home and reading to my little sisters. -
Went to public library in summer; checked out 10 books weekly to read. -
Still read for enjoyment, though school and work limit free time.
