I like to read mostly to relax and destress. Occasionally, I'll read to learn and grow as a reader and a writer but generally I read because it's fun.
My goal this semester is to challenge myself more with my reading. I'm still going to read for fun but now I'll be exploring more difficult texts.

-I think that people should read because it is  a way for people to escape from the cage of reality and experience things outside of the real world. It also is a good way to calm your mind and get your eyes of of a screen.
-something i want to achieve in this new semester is find a book that makes me want to turn the page and take the extra step of stopping and thinking about what is happening. I also want to try different genres and learn about different types of reading.

One main reason to read is there are things that have only been adapted into a book. Stories, worlds, and characters that may have never been adapted or have been adapted but were done so, poorly. My goal for reading this semester is to finish at least two books I enjoy/get something out of.

Why reading is important is because it makes you less anxious and makes you better at reading anything with more practice.
My goal for reading this semester is to at least finish one book maybe two.

the best reason for me to read is to go to a different world other than the one I'm in and to gain massive amounts of stories and knowledge this helps distract me for a bit from the stresses of everything going on around me and helps teach while doing so.

My goal for this coming semester is to read more than the last because I didn't read as much as I wanted to read during the first semester so I would like to find interesting books that I like and put more time into them to enjoy reading more this new semester.

# data[].attributes.body
I read because I want get better at vocab, I read because I like to learn about new things. I like to read because it helps my imagination.

It's been a while since I've read this book so I may be unimpressed should I read it again now, but I remember loving this series when I was in elementary schoo

There are so many reasons to read, but the most important to me are to see from perspectives that aren't available to you based on your own circumstances, to strengthen your imagination, and to feel strong emotions. Whether those be sorrow, anxiety, humor, or revulsion, when you feel those emotions it really means you're invested and connecting with the text.

My goal for reading this coming semester is to read at least one extra book than required and branch out into new genres while maintaining a difficult reading level. If you have any suggestions for good dystopian or horror books I would love to hear them...

A) For me the best reason to read is to be able to sort of experience the lives of other people who are much different from myself. Whether that's because they live in another fantasy world or because they have a much different upbringing than me from the same one. I also like reading about things different from my life because in the past I have had very strong opinions about things without hearing from the other side, and once I finally did I realized how much different the situation was than I thought, And having a lot of knowledge is a nice feeling.
B) My goal for reading this semester is to be more consistent, read for longer periods of time on end, and to give myself enough time to make thoughtful projects that actually mean something to me.

a)I think the best reasons to read is to learn new vocabulary and/or get better at writing and maybe help with grammar. Reading is also good because it makes you stop looking at your phone and it allows you to let your imagination take over. Finally, reading makes you relax and distract your brain so you feel good afterwards.

b) My goal for this semester is to read at least 3 books because last semester I didn't read that many books, so I want to improve and do better this semester.

# data[].attributes.body
a) Mostly I read because I have to, weather its for a class or a project  or to meet a goal. I read because I need to get something done that involves reading. But when I do read I try to get something out of it, new vocab or new ideas, i have to get something out of it.
b) My goal for reading this semester is to read two books and do the two reading projects.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people should read because it expands and improves their vocabulary as well as helping people sympathize or understand all sorts of different kinds of people.

My reading goal for this semester is to read at least three books independently and to do the independent reading assignments for them.

1. Reading is enjoyable. You can read just about anything, and for as long as you want. When you enjoy the books you expand your reach in general you can find new genres and authors who write in certain ways you find enjoyable, you can read short books that get to the point if you like to be quick or boring ass books like the Lord of the rings that are like a thousand pages, it's up to you. You can enjoy books for different reasons, because you relate to it or because it is so far from your reality that it whisks you away on a magic carpet ride. While you are enjoying the book you will be inadvertently expanding your vocabulary, brain power and will help you with your writing.
2. Do both independent reading projects, and get 200/200 so i can pass this class

Good reasons to read are because it helps expand vocabulary and challenge your mind. After I read I feel calmer and more at peace too. Reading really has expanded my vocabulary and if I get bored I pull out a boo and dont feel bored anymore.
