Reading Aloud Analysis

Am I the only person who hates reading aloud? In my 7th grade English teachers classroom it was cold, but I always sat in the desk by the window where I could feel the heat from the sun. The desk were beginning to fill up with my classmates and as always they were not in the mood to be up this early and have to read.
Class was starting my English teacher told us to get out our literature book and turn to a page. She announced we will be reading aloud as a class and everyone has to read. Right then I knew that I was going to figure out a plan to get out of reading out loud. I got a feeling in my stomach that made me feel just very uncomfortable. I hated reading aloud because it always made me feel like people was talking or would talk about
me just like they did some of the other kids.
We begin to read the story they decided that we was going to popcorn read so that why she knew if you was paying attention and following along. I was so scared that one of my friends would call on me to read. I knew that if I wasn’t in the class to know where they were in the story than she wouldn’t let them call on me to read. I was wondering off in my head plotting on how and when I was going to get out class to keep people from being able to call on me. All of a sudden my friend called on me. I didn’t hear her call me but I could feel people looking at me then I knew that it was too late to get out of reading. I was embarrassed because I didn’t know where to start so my classmate processed to show me we to begin reading. As I started reading the paragraph I felt like I reading slowly so I started to pick up my speed which is where I messed up at. I started reading fast and messed up and skipped words so bad I was just embarrassed and ready to go.
After all the students left out of the classroom my teacher told me to come here.
I thought to myself she felt like I was thinking I was slow too. Instead she told me “You are a very great reader you just need to take your time and pay attention to the words. You never know you could be skipping over important facts you need to know.” I explained to her that I felt like I read so and wanted to learn how to read a lot faster. My teacher ended up adding me speed reading class that helped me read a lot faster and pronounce word correctly. I was really excited that she added me into and I’m glad she didn’t tell me because I wouldn’t have agreed to join. Only reason why I say that is because they come and get you out of your English class to a different classroom to read the story. I thought the kids would talk about me like as if I can’t read and need someone to read to me but I came back to class very confident and ready to read aloud.
From this experience I learned that shouldn’t be afraid to read aloud because people make mistakes when reading even teachers. I also learned that we come to school to learn not to figure out who is the smartest or who knows everything. At the end of the day we all leave the school learning something new from any
class.
