I remember being in a small group in first grade and I hate to say it was back in the day with Dick and Jane thinking it was super boring.  My father and I loved history on WW 2 and we shared books all the time.  We also shared our love of biographies as well.

As a child, I remember having moments of success when teachers shared read aloud texts I loved. I read with my parents at home out loud at night. I didn't practice in small group as a child. I didn't enjoy reading independently until high school/college.

I was much more of an artist than a reader growing up. I was a slow reader, so fiction was not my jam. I found out later in life that nonfiction books about how to build and create still made me a reader!
