For as long as I can remember, I have had interesting situations with reading and write. Like everyone, it started with one word like mom or dad. While trying to learn, letter and number, some television shows would be the perfect way to learn. Just as my parents currently encourage me to take on any challenging opportunity, they also always took the opportunity to challenge me in my childhood as an attempt to broaden my skills and knowledge. Because my mom was from Ecuador, her entire side of the family spoke Spanish to each other. Because of that, they thought they would try teach me a second language growing up. Unfortunately, it didn't work out and I grew up only hearing gibberish and never understood what they were actually saying.
Now school has begun. We can all remember those days on a colorful rug and listening to the teacher reading books to the class. Those were some of the first memories I have. Those are the first memories I have of learning to read and write. …show more content…

Using correct grammar and parts of speech took a lot of practice and we reviewed almost every year. During those years I mainly learned the basics and the structure for writing. Nothing that really caught my attention. Grammar and sentence structure never stuck with me. I preferred to draw or write. Though I could never start them. I enjoyed working from a sentence or two and making it more.
My high school experiences were memories I won't forget when it comes to reading, writing, and communicating. Some good, and some bad. I was always torn between assignments or I just didn't do them at all. Thankfully though, because of these mistakes, I figured out what to do. This is where I figured out what type of habits I had and what kind of learner I actually

During adolescence, I began reading and writing through a fundamental learning program called, "Hooked on Phonics." This program consisted of long hours spent reading short novels and writing elementary phrases which were commonly taught in the second and third grade. With the motto, "Improve your child's reading and writing skills in just four weeks!" I was bound to become the next Mark Twain. The method of this course specialized in the improvements of word acquisition rates as well as reading speed; however, it lacked in the area of teaching comprehension. At a young age, I was instilled with the dire need to be highly educated and although I was unable to experience a fun and adventurous childhood like many other children, I am grateful for being raised with a greater knowledge and wisdom than that ingrained in many.

The earliest point I can recall in my literacy journey is the day that I learned to write. I sat in a small room adjacent to my mother as she spoke to an old friend. Struggling to situate a pencil in my hand, I listened intently to the son of my mother’s friend, Keegan. He stood, peering over my shoulder annunciating foreign sounds he referred to as letters. I tried my best to hold the pencil correctly and copy the sequence of lines that he wrote onto my piece of paper.

Learning to read and write is something we all have experienced. Some experiences being difficult than others. As a kid, I can remember trying to read the daily newspapers, different types of magazines, books, and addresses on mail; basically, I tried reading anything that had words on it. My favorite thing to read were the back of cereal boxes.

“I believe that I’m at least competent as a writer as I can usually fluidly express ideas, but those technical skills will be even further crucial once I enter college and the adult world. The sooner I can learn these skills to better my writing, the better prepared I’ll be for any writing situation I find myself in the future.” When I entered the class of Front Range Composition on January 10th, I was armed only with my expectations of what I hoped to learn and the basic writing knowledge I had gained from other classes. Writing had never been my strong suit in my academic years, but I was capable enough to work my way through and still pull off an A in the class. Not this class.

I believe a good reader is what makes a good writer, but because I lost my interest in reading, I’ve struggled with writing throughout the years. It wasn’t that I had trouble learning new skills, but because I was pushed away from what I wanted to learn, so I decided to pursue other interests like music.

As a child, I was a very eager learner. I always wanted to learn new things to feed my brain.

As mentioned countless times above, during my time in this class, I would love to obtain the writing skill of writing papers that are more condensed and attentive to the matter I am addressing at that point in time. Professionals and even non-professionals will not want to waste their time reading something that could have been addressed in a fewer sentences and words. If I want to stand out in a crowd of equally educated occupational therapists, I need to make sure my writing is formatted and addressed in a professional manner. As a result, I am looking forward to learning how to make myself look as professional as I can in writing. Nevertheless, with learning to write proper papers and documents comes the challenge of making sure enough time is included within my study of this particular course.

Today, in the twenty-first century, it is not uncommon for a child to start writing essays, reports, or even journals for school work starting immediately after they are able to write full sentences. For me, this was not the case. As soon as I started to write letters I was trying everyday to form words, to complete fragments, and then eventually, full sentences. As a child for me, the idea of school was amazing. What could be better than going to a building to play with a bunch of kids your age and learning all kinds of new information, it was all so delightful. Ever since I was born, music has been one of the biggest influences on my life, in all aspects. This includes, but is not limited to the lyrics, the instruments, and the ability it

My Love Of Reading Essay

I remember that, when being taught to read I already knew more words than I had realized. Watching my dad’s finger skim under the words as he read them had helped me subconsciously learn those words. I learned to read and write at a much more accelerated pace than my peers. I felt impatient with those who lagged behind, not realizing that not everyone had been given the same advantages as me. The moment I started to read on my own, my great aunt, a retired kindergarten teacher, would send me a box of books she had used in her classroom every year for my birthday. Throughout elementary school, when I received the box, I would bring it up to my room and practice reading all the books on my own. Being able to read on my own opened the door to a world I hadn’t been able to reach without help
