My class actually took a field trip to another elementary school to read to there whole second grade class. My reading became more versatile, I was also able to improve my vocabulary and reading comprehensive skills.
When I was in high school reading became more of a hobby, rather than mandatory thing. I enjoyed when my teachers asked me to read out loud to the class. I also read on my free time.
