Personal Narrative: My Early Reading Life

As a young girl, i've found it harder to read than it is for others. I was never a fan of reading or anything that had to do with reading. I never found books interesting or I never understood them as a child

Remembering my early reading life, I never really liked reading, I remember my mom would always try to get me to sit down in one corner of my couch and get me to read, then I would run around the house crying and would hide on a shelve in my closet so she wouldn’t find me, but everytime I hid up there she ended up finding me. I would go downstairs and sit on the couch with my mom and she would read to me well I was zoning out and not paying attention to what she said. I did not like reading because I found it worthless and I thought it was weird to read, and I could never get into a story or I could

It was not like in middle school when we got to read our own book. When either my mom or my teacher picked out my book, that is when I really started to not like reading. The books they picked out I had absolutely no interest in. So growing up the first real book I read, I had no interest in and hated it a lot. So throughout elementary I thought every single book was like that book I read in first grade. I never would pick up another book until I found the book “Wonder” by R.J. Palaco. This book by R.J Palacio is my favorite book. This was the only book I have ever really liked. When I read in elementary I would sit on the couch with my mom and I would read too her. I never had any mistakes when I read in my head, I never would have a problem pronouncing. Then when I read out loud I made many more mistakes. I had trouble pronouncing words, i kept raising my voice at the end of the a sentence and my voice lower at the beginning, and mainly I had trouble just in reality saying the words. So carrying through elementary I never liked reading at
