Why? Identify people or experiences that caused you to either enjoy or dislike reading venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327100080 I do like reading, so I would say my attitude toward reading is good. I enjoy reading, but I am picky on what type of books I like. I am into romance fiction books. If I am not hooked by the first couple pages though, I cannot continue to read it. So, I like and enjoy reading, but I do not read as often as I would like to because I cannot find books that suit me 100%. One experience that I have that caused me to enjoy reading more was when I was a junior in high school, we used to read whatever book we wanted the last 20 minutes of class. Most teachers do not let you choose what to read, so that had a good impact on me.]]> 2019-02-03 19:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327100080 What sticks out to you about your reading experiences in school? venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102119 When I was in fourth grade, we had to take AR (Accelerated Reading) tests. We had to get a certain amount of AR points every nine weeks and I remember checking out a Junie. B. Jones book every single day and reading one of those books a day. I really enjoyed those books and I also enjoyed looking for books in the library.]]> 2019-02-03 20:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102119 How often do you read? venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102139 I read one book every couple months. I wish I read more than that, but I am just so picky. One book that I have liked the most recently is "Starry Eyes" by Jenn Bennett.]]> 2019-02-03 20:12:08 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102139 Memories you have of reading as a child. venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102160 I remember when I was seven years old, I used to play "baby school" with my two year old sister and pretend to be a teacher. I would constantly read to her and come up with little activities to help her learn. I can say that I successfully taught my little sister to read when she was only two. I mostly read Dick & Jane books to her. ]]> 2019-02-03 20:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327102160 Books that impacted your life (taught you something important, made you love reading, etc.) venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327106677 One book that impacted my life is the Bible. I know that seems really cliche, but no other book has made me feel so at peace other than the Bible. My favorite verse from this book is Psalm 118:6 "The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" I try to live by this everyday.]]> 2019-02-03 20:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327106677 How have all of your experiences with reading helped you get to where you are today? venablear https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327107443 All of my experiences with reading has helped me get to where I am today because all of the books I have ever read shaped me into who I am today. Whether it is the Bible, or poetry books that I like reading, each one helps me learn more about myself and how I feel about the world.]]> 2019-02-03 20:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/venablear/tkb9f6mtp06z/wish/327107443
