These books mostly contained the alphabet, rhymes, and a easy to understand storyline.]]> 2021-09-18 23:07:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750959897 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750961201 Next I was introduced to biographies in elementary. I mainly read about presidents and other major historic figures in the U.S. ]]> 2021-09-18 23:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750961201 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750963157 I started reading more critical thinking stories like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. These books were more challenging than the ones I read when I was younger.]]> 2021-09-18 23:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750963157 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750965878 As a little kid I loved Dr. Seuss books and books that were about animals or princesses. I enjoyed reading but only the books that interest me.]]> 2021-09-18 23:16:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750965878 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750966258 In middle school, I don't recall a lot of the books we read. Probably because during that time I was very uninterested in books and literacy. Well, except for the Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series. I read this series on my own for fun during middle school because they were good books. If we were reading a book that I found interesting then I would be engaged and enjoy reading. ]]> 2021-09-18 23:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750966258 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750970185 Thanks to two amazing english teachers I finally truly enjoyed literacy my Sophomore - Senior years of high school. Not only did I find the books we read interesting but I learned so many lessons from these books that can be applied to my life.]]> 2021-09-18 23:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750970185 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750973802 This book was the first historical book that I fell in love with. It tells the heartbreaking story of a kid having to survive the Holocaust. This book made me realize that historical literature is not always boring and can be intriguing to say the least.]]> 2021-09-18 23:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750973802 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750975684 After acting out several of his plays my sophomore and junior year of high school my love for plays had been expanded. Many of his plays not only taught me how fun literacy can be but also the evolution of literacy. Learning how to use old english and how people used to talk was very fun.]]> 2021-09-18 23:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750975684 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750978517 Lastly, reading the speeches and essays of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. helped me learn about the power of literacy. The way he formats his speeches and diction so that it is receivable to multiple different audiences. The way that he can say something without actually saying it. This made me want to read more of his work. "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" - One of my favorite quotes by him!]]> 2021-09-18 23:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750978517 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750982138 I value literacy so much now. I see the power of it, the purpose of it, and need for it. Everyday I learn or experience something that makes me think about and appreciate literacy more. Also I have picked up reading books on my own again. I finished 4 books over the summer and have started collecting books to read in the future!]]> 2021-09-18 23:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750982138 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750984084 In college the books I read for my classes are mostly books on teaching and how we can improve the quality of education for future students. I never thought I would enjoy reading a book that doesn't have a storyline to it but here I am. ]]> 2021-09-18 23:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750984084 aaliharr https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750987917 I also read a lot of articles about literacy itself. These articles have also helped me realize the power of literacy. How much we use it in our everyday lives without even realizing it.]]> 2021-09-18 23:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliharr/gx9cqpmem281ol68/wish/1750987917
