The parts that seem unknowable become somehow accessible. I also read because I can't picture a world without words and stories and people doing the different things that they do to make sense of it all. ]]> 2016-08-31 13:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120817383 pgu1 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120818208 reading is not an isolated act. That it builds community, starts conversations and pushes our thinking. We read to connect and to share ideas with other people because it's part of what makes us human. ]]> 2016-08-31 13:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120818208 pgu1 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120819436 I used to think that taking notes and slowing down wasn't helping me become the kind of reader I wanted to be but now I think that sometimes, pausing, jotting down my thinking is a different way of reading.  Sometimes, a book demands it and if I don't honor it, I lose a lot of the meaning I could be making. ]]> 2016-08-31 13:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120819436 mohd66080 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995119 Reading has a deeper impact on me then I realised,it has shaped me as person,it has affected my views on the world and has gifted me with a global mindset.
Also I realised that I read more then I initially thought as I consistently read everyday.]]> 2016-09-01 02:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995119 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995145
I think that reading is a magical way to empathise and connect with characters. Reading takes you to a world in which anything is possible, and it touches your deepest desires to be wanted, to be the hero or to save the day. Reading is a way to escape from reality, away from the stress and worries of the real world.]]> 2016-09-01 02:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995145 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995401 Reading can influence my life. It can change my perspectives or even give me new perspectives on certain subjects. Reading can help me understand myself and help me see the world differently.

We need to do this to understand each other and empathise with each other. Reading can also teach us about situations we may never experience. ;\]]> 2016-09-01 02:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995435 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995457 I think reading is helpful when you are writing. For example, when you are thinking about how to write a plot twist, a book can 'mentor' you on how to write that. Reading is a huge help, especially when you are writing things you may not know how to write properly or to your best.]]> 2016-09-01 02:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995457 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995497 I think we read because it is one of the most important things that make us human. Reading enables us to live in a world filled with words and texts. It helps me develop my knowledge of our world and universe and it enables me to see in other people's perspectives. Plus its fun, and an excellent time killer.]]> 2016-09-01 02:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995497 wong17083 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995645 I feel that reading is to be human. To not only be able to feel for living things, but to be able to imagine a person or a place, yet genuinely feel empathy, happiness, or anger for them.

In other words instead of writing i do my thinking in my head]]> 2016-09-01 02:45:44 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995663 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995671 Why do we read? We read because it takes us into a different world where we are tangled up in our own thoughts . It lets us connect to different characters and feel the different emotions. ]]> 2016-09-01 02:45:48 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995671 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995685 I learnt that to read to the best of my ability I need to take notes and ask questions about the book. I need to try and find the hidden messages. I used to think that we make notes because the teacher makes us but it really helps you go further into the book you are reading.1 ]]> 2016-09-01 02:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995685 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995703 I read to learn more about the world around me. When you read you gain more knowledge and when you know more about something you can change it. To be able to make a change you first need to know about that topic. Reading can also help you to understand different peoples opinions and lives so we become more understanding and tolerant to people who are different from ourselves

But now, I know writing about your reading is very good, as I find it helpful to write down everything you're thinking down. It's easier to visualize and organize your thoughts, which can make your ideas go deeper, and become
 more meaningful.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995741 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995756 I think the reason we read is to see the world through a different perspective, through another pair of eyes. I read because I am an aspiring and growing writer, I want to be able to expand my vocabulary and widen my thoughts, I want people to see the world through my eyes. Reading has made me the person I am today, it has shaped my values and beliefs, reading has grown to become a part of me.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995756 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995759 Why do I read?

I thinks reading is helpful because it can improve your vocabulary and therefore my writing. It can also teach me life skills and it can teach me other perspective from people from different cultures. It can also be an entertainment and can be like being in a complete different world.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995759 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995763 I read because it's a way to escape the reality of the world. I also read because you get to experience the thrill and adventure of someone else's life and go into another world. Reading also gets me inspired and gets me thinking deeper about the book and character. ]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995763 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995806 Why do we Read? We read to Learn, Explore, Imagine and lose ourselves in worlds writers imagine and create. We use books to feel empathy to carefully crafted characters and setting or to inspire and motivate ourselves to be better.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995806 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995809 Why do we read? We read because we can teleport ourselves to places when we have nowhere to go. We can go wherever we want, and sit in the same place. We read  because we can dive deeper than we ever thought we could and see/discover things maybe never seen before.]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995809 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995812 A reader lives a thousand lives before he/she dies, a man/woman who doesn't read only lives one. Reading is immensely fun and an amazing way to lose yourself to the real world and live with the wizards, fairies, the murders, whatever you can imagine. ]]> 2016-09-01 02:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995812 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995890 Why do I read?

I read for pleasure, to understand and open my mind, and to explore. When I read it takes me to another world. I become the character and feel for them. I read for me. I love books and I like to experience different worlds through the eyes of character.]]> 2016-09-01 02:47:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995890 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995916 Why Do I Read?
I read because it helps me to learn. Reading teaches me ways to become a better writer. When I read, I learn different writing techniques and ways that the author engages me as a reader.]]> 2016-09-01 02:47:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995916 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995917 Reading is important because simply of one of the main reasons and that is to get new perspectives and new ideas and thoughts that could help you out possibly in the near or later future. However, I really learnt about how and why reading isn't just about 'words' or 'books' you could read visuals or other things as long as it helps you as a reader.]]> 2016-09-01 02:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995917 https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995928 We read so that we can feel what it is like to be in a different situation, place or person. It lets you connect to the story and notice things in a perspective you have not noticed before. It can make you have a completely different approach to many different situations.]]> 2016-09-01 02:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pgu1/l7oh7e1a849b/wish/120995928
