Stolen Children Research Paper

Learning to read in your childhood is very beneficial. By being able to read at an early age made it easier for me to learn the more difficult words faster. Every night before I went to bed my mom would sit and read me a bedtime story. Bedtime stories were my first but not last encounter with reading. My mom often would read, The Bid Bad Wolf and Doctor Seus. These books I read when I was little I still remember today. My favorite book to this day is Stolen Children. I love books with suspense and mystery. Stolen children Is a book by Peg Kehret. This is a book about a girl Amy and Kendra. Amy is babysitting Kendra when they both are kidnapped. The kidnappers sent videos to their parents to show that their kids are okay. Amy
leaves messages in the video so both her and Kendra's parents can figure out where they are located. Books with suspense make it easier to stay focused on what may happen. Being able to read is for sure a privilege. The ability to read helps anywhere from reading in school to reading road signs. I take the little things like reading for granted. " We were privileged (Lee)."Without reading we would not be able to read things such as menu's , signs, or the history of our world. Although reading assignments are not my favorite I would not learn half as much I know without reading textbooks. Reading is enjoyable but I would rather run or practice soccer outside. I do not read more than is necessary. It is very important to read because in some books we learn life lessons. Reading also enables us to use a wider variety of words in our vocabulary. I also believe that when you have a visual copy of something it is easier to go back and find the answers. I like knowing that I am using the same reference and it is the same perspective. In books, it is also easy to find what you are looking for faster because their is a index that enables you to find a heading that is pertaining to your subject that can be very helpful.
