Literacy Autobiography
The first thing a child learns how to do in school is to read and write. I, unlike most of my classmates, didn’t actually know how to read fluently until the first grade. I remember my Kindergarten class had to read The Polar Express on our own and I was only able to guess what the book was saying. My friend’s dad had to read to me while she read on her own. Reading wasn’t practiced much at home. In fact, my mother doesn’t even remember reading to me, “I don’t remember, but I know I read to you at some point.” The only book I ever found and looked through in my house was my father’s algebra book. That algebra book became my favorite book since I didn’t really have anything else to read. However, after getting the hang

of reading, I began to read everything from cereal boxes to online articles. I borrowed books from the school library and local library to take home every day. Reading became a passion.
Most of my reading experiences were positive because I enjoyed it so much, but most of these experiences occurred in elementary school. People’s interests change as they grow older; I became uninterested in reading in the sixth grade. I don’t enjoy reading as much as I used to and that’s probably the biggest difference between me in elementary school and me now. I don’t usually read anything that’s not on my phone screen. If someone were to ask me the last thing I read, it’d probably be a tweet. The last book I read was The Power of One, but that book was assigned. I can’t even what the last book was that I read on my own time. To be honest, I have trouble reading sometimes because I simply get too distracted or I’d get bored with a book and end up not finishing it. If I were to find a great book with an amazing plot, I hope I can focus on it and just enjoy reading like I used to. But until I do find a nice book, I don’t plan on reading unless it is mandatory to read.
