    I guess I shouldn’t say Betsy Ross made me love to read; I should say Betsy Ross opened my eyes to a whole new world. When I was in the third grade, we were assigned a book report on any biography of our choosing. “Great!” I thought. “Now I have to read some boring book!” I was not thrilled with this assignment, but I was a good student and usually did what I was told.…

    But I really fell behind in seventh grade when I was in Mr. Green’s class. Ms. Green was a strange teacher, she almost always ignored the girl students but gave the guys a little too much attention. Long story short, she crept out all the guys who had her and pissed off all the overachieving girls who asked a lot of questions and thrived off teachers' advice. We had SSR time every day, but the vibe in the room was always tense and a little awkward, which made it really hard to get wrapped up in a good story. We all ended up just skimming the pages and passing notes or doing other homework. Once I got out of the habit of reading I kept making excuses, saying I was “too busy” or “they're no books that look interesting to me.” If I really think about it, seventh grade wasn’t the only thing that broke my good habit of reading. Some fault lies with me for just being lazy and not setting aside time in the day for me to pick up a book and get lost in…

    Reading: somewhere, somehow it is all around us. Everyone learned to read through different methods and sources. As I grew up, education was not a question. I was taught to focus on school and everything else would fall into place. I knew that I would attend college and be given the opportunity to have a great education. However, other people are less fortunate than I have been. Minorities and people living in poverty cannot afford to read books and expand their knowledge. This hurts them as they age and causes them to fall behind in school. Literacy is very important to our culture, as it affects how our country is ran and decisions that are made in state and national offices.…

    I loved hearing her voice when she read to me. She would change her voice for each character in the story. Hearing different voices sent my imagination soaring. Sometimes I would close my eyes and visualize the characters and setting. Although I do not remember many specific details about these reading sessions, I am certain that the pictures and adventures of the make believe characters were the reason the books captivated me.…

    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…

    Being Read To At Night

    Being read to at night can be one of the best ways to go to sleep. I remember when I was a child when my mom would read me to sleep. It was one of the only ways I was able to sleep. My mom’s voice was so soothing and relaxing. I could hear her voice all day and night with no problem at all. What I liked about her reading to me was that she really engaged me with the story. Either by doing sound effects or saying something very loud or quiet. There were also nights where my dad would get involved. I loved it when they both read to me. It felt like a good family bond. All this happened in the house that I lived in my whole childhood. As I got older I got less interested in my parents reading to me at night. I would prefer watching television…

    I didn't have many material things growing up. So I spent most of my time reading books. Part of my night routine growing up was reading a book until I got tired and went to sleep. I would nag my parents to go to the library or ask for money to buy a new, upcoming book. I also would watch…
