Childhood Experience
During my childhood, reading is my biggest passion. I delve into this habit since I was 8 years old. My elder sister played a prominent role in developing my passion for reading. I like to read both fiction and non-fiction books. I realized the importance of reading books as it helped me to develop my vocabulary, knowledge and gave me new ideas. I was a librarian in the primary school and this further helps me to develop my passion.
I have to admit that there are few factors that motivate me to continue to read books when I was in primary school. The cover of the book should be beautiful and colorful which make a good impression to me and attracts me to read it. I like to read book that is thin and full with content. The book should be colourful as I like something that is attractive rather than dull books. Books that packed with images and pictures also help me to comprehend the content easily. The language used should be short and simple. I don’t like to refer dictionary in the middle of my reading to find the meaning of a word as it disturb my concentration. I have many accesses for reading as I was a librarian back at my primary school. My family supports me when I’m reading, so they prepare me a study table and they create a conducive environment; good lighting and ventilation for me. Plus, my elder sister has the passion as I had and this encourages me to read more. My parents always buy me storybooks to motivate me to read more. My primary school teacher always calls upon me during assembly and praises me for reading many books through Nilam program.
But contrary, there are few factors that demotivate me to read books. I do not read books that are plain which is not captivating when I was in primary school. I tend to get bored reading black and white books. Books with lengthy words and complicated words make the story hard to understand. During my childhood, I like to watch television and this distracts me from reading. My playful childhood friends always

    “A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge,” said by a famous American novelist, George R.R. Martin. Personally, I couldn’t agree more with this quote. Books are always being with me throughout my life. My literacy journey started when I was nine years old. I started with some simple Dairy and short stories.…

    Reading is my life. It’s my escape from the world around me. I love getting lost in a story about monsters and myths, or a Cinderella gone wrong. If I didn’t draw as much as I did, I’d probably be the anti-social bookworm in the back, like in all those cliche teenage love stories. It’s actually quite surprising to see how many people dislike books, there’s nothing wrong with a little reading every once and awhile. But who am I to judge? I wasn’t a very big reader myself until maybe two years ago. Of course, that leads to the first reason why I enjoy reading so much.…

    Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading, there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading, they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end. In addition to reading at the library we checked books out to bring home to read, this allowed me to read as much as I wanted to. Correspondent to the amount of reading I did, the more I enjoyed it and improved at reading.…

    The first books I ever started reading were Winnie the Pooh and Dr Suess books. When I was young my parents were really good about getting me started with reading different books and for a long time I loved reading, as long as it was books I got to choose and enjoyed reading myself. Once I got further along in school and they started mandating what books we had to read I got to the point where I didn’t find reading enjoyable any longer. I didn’t like most of the books my teachers were picking for us to read so I felt like I had to force myself to read them and it caused me to even stop reading books outside of school…

    I decided to do my qualitative paper on “How involved are fathers in interacting with their children” I went to the local mall on a Sunday, knowing that families are more likely to take a trip here on a weekend oppose to weekdays as parents may be at work and children may be home or at school. The setting I choose for this study was the build-a-bear workshop store. Build a bear workshop is very popular toy customization store, located in the local mall. This store is always busy with lots of children and their parents having fun building bears or simply purchasing toys. I walked into the store and started to walk around for a bit to get a feel for the setting and observe the people in the store. My criteria for this study:…

    My Math teacher made a difference on my reading life. He always had good books to lend me. My appreciation for reading increased with many books he suggested. I’m very glad he was in my life to help to develop my reading skills. Although, I had to learn a new language when I moved to United Sates. I still enjoy reading. My favorite books are the fiction books. I still enjoyed the feeling of traveling to different worlds and be part of adventures. If a book has a kingdom, king, historical pieces, new languages, weird people, villains, and a hero, that it will be a book I’ll…

    “Why are you even bothering? You’re too stupid to read that, let alone understand it.” This phrase, and many like it, was all I heard from my biological father as I was growing up. I was one of the many unlucky children that grew up with an abusive parent. My biological father hit me, belittled me and much, much more. Yes, I am angry at him, but in a cruel round-a-bout way, my father helped me become the intelligent woman I am today.…

    Reading: something that has always played an imperative role in my life, but throughout the years has been significantly irregular. From a young age I was taught to be deeply involved in my reading and to learn and grow from what I read. There have been some specific memories that I hold on to about the noteable things that have established me as a reader. Reading deeply and getting very involved into my reading is a quality that I am lucky to have and that I do not think many people possess.…

    I love to read because of my mother. When I was young I disliked reading and preferred to watch movies instead. To get me to enjoy reading my mother would read stories to me and I would read along with her. One day my mother read only classic books from our houses to San Antonio, Texas. We read Little women, Great Expectations, Treasure Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, plus more. I remember how her voice made the words on the pages come to life. She would very her tone for each character and made each one unique. It was like watching a one man play. I soon wanted to read the stories by myself because I was always in a rush to know the ending; reading to myself was faster than my mother reading aloud to me. Every time I read I can still…

    There are so many benefits to reading. Reading expands your thinking, especially if you are someone who lacks the means for anything but the essentials of life. Books can export you anywhere in the space of a chapter, using only your imagination! Did you read “Mansfield Park” and imagine yourself in the tiny, dirty room that Fanny and her family shared before she was taken to Mansfield Park at the request of her mother? How do you think Fanny felt amidst the richness and beauty of that magnificent mansion? How do you think she felt about her rich, gloating aunt and uncle?…

    Writing was my passion it was what I thought about all day and now it was but a mere dream. I had to find something else to focus on, I had to find something else to desire. I started spending more and more time in the school library. I discovered that I loved reading just as much as writing. I learned to read just as early as I learned to walk and use the toilet. My mother was a teacher so she would come home every afternoon and read to my sister and I. I found reading to be relaxing and intriguing. Reading was like having your own personal movie play out in your head as you read the pages of the book. I enjoyed it so much I completely stop watching television and even playing outside. I can remember my favorite series of books, which was the Junnie B. Jones series I must have read those books ten or twenty times each. During the reminder of elementary school I became better and better at reading. My teachers were amazed I was one of the best readers in my class. After reading books you would have to take an AR test on the plot and characters of the book and at the end of the school year the student with the highest average would receive a prize. I never lost!…
