What do you rember about learning to read?

This is from a writing prompt we did in class on Wednesday (3 SEPT).

I don't remember learning how to read. As far as I'm concerned (at least, from what my memory tells me...) I've always been able to read. I remember reading with my Mom and Dad especially the following books:
The Star Bellied Sneeches
Good Night Moon
The Tale of Two Bad Mice
Pat the Bunny

I also remember reading these books by myself:
The Boxcar Children
Balto!
Shiloh
Where the Red Fern Grows

I loved reading as a kid...and I remember when my Mom and Dad took my lamp away because I wouldn't stop reading.

Everyone in class then shared about their reading experiences too, which was fun to hear. Some of them were like mine, others were not. Some of my classmates really do remember learning about reading, and for some of them it was a real struggle. It really made me admire some of them who had to work really hard to learn how to read. For others, I was comforted in the fact, that many people grew up as I did. As I thought about it further, I thought that maybe I should ask everyone I know about how they learned to read so that I can better help my students in the future.


READING IS IMPORTANT, AND I NEVER WANT TO FORGET THAT.
