My parents would make my older sister and I work on different reading tasks over the summer.

Noor loves to read and write and she help and encouraged me to study with her for the reading portion of the ACT, because she knew reading was not my strongest area.

I became more self conscious about my reading, writing, and spelling abilities. I lost interest in anything English related. I still did my work, I just felt like I was doing a bad job at it. I think it had to do with my principal and how she was running reading test on my classmates and I, and she told me that I did better the previous year, which made me feel dumb.]]> 2016-09-08 02:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jabwf9/1463u98r0mwb/wish/122314217 jabwf9 https://padlet.com/jabwf9/1463u98r0mwb/wish/122314340 I grew up in a military family.
