Recommended: Parental involvement in children's education

Reading in the classroom was a breeze for me because my amazing parents read so much to me when I was a young child. Learning to read when I started kindergarten was not as hard for me as it was for other children. I had an advantage over the other children because my Dad read so much to me and my brother when we were young. I will always thank him for that because I was able to learn at a more advanced level. When my dad would read to me when I was a young child he would make the story come to life. He would always make the characters come to life by putting so much enthusiasm to the story. He made reading fun. My favorite book he read to me was Chewy Louie because he would act just like the characters do in the book and it would make the …show more content…

I also read The Series of Unfortunate Events and they were my favorite. When I got to sixth grade I had the most AR points in the whole school and I got a huge prize at the end of the year. Since my dad read so much to me growing up I was always placed in the advanced reading classes because reading came so much easier to me. At first I was scared to be in those classes because they always had older students and I was always the youngest, but after it turned out to be a lot of fun. I got to read so many interesting stories and made so many new friends. Being placed in the advanced classes when I was younger made English so much easier for me when I was older. When my younger brother and sister were born I would read to them just like my dad would read to me. It helped them tremendously because now they are placed in the advanced reading classes. We all love reading because my dad taught us so well. We gained so much knowledge because he read to us. I have gained so much knowledge and information from reading. It has opened up so many doors for me. I am in all the advanced classes and I am a good student because I started reading very young and it helped me tremendously. I know now that if I ever decide to

    ... It is a challenge to get people involved because people always want to know what is in it for them. Children need to be read to, sung to, and played with all the time. Parents should be their child’s first teacher and provider. The earlier this starts, the closer that child is to receiving a diploma.

  • Literacy Narrative Essay

    As a child, I have always been fond of reading books. My mother would read to me every single night before I went to bed and sometimes throughout the day. It was the most exciting time of the day when she would open the cabinet, with what seemed to be hundreds of feet tall, of endless books to choose from. When she read to me, I wanted nothing more than to read just like her. Together, we worked on reading every chance we had. Eventually I got better at reading alone and could not put a book down. Instead of playing outside with my brothers during the Summer, I would stay inside in complete silence and just read. I remember going to the library with my mom on Saturdays, and staying the entire day. I looked forward to it each and every week.

  • My Reading And Writing

    861 Words  | 2 Pages

    I started learning to read and write around age three. My mother and grandmother were the two biggest influences in my early years of reading and writing. They always read to me and made me watch educational kid shows such as Barney. Even though sometimes I was not interested in reading, it helped tremendously. I’ve had many teachers motivate me to do better and help me with my weaknesses in literature. I still love to read, but only interesting stuff appeals to me. Many people in my life have helped me grow as a reader and writer, and I’ve learned a few things on my own too.

  • Personal Narrative: Reading And Writing

    679 Words  | 2 Pages

        Reading and writing has never been my the most sturdy subject, ever since I started school. I would struggle like no other! Most of the time I would be sent to sit at this one table that had the smallest and most uncomfortable chairs I had ever sat on, with the kids that struggled. It was the most awful and embarrassing thing I had ever experienced, some  kids would sit there staring and laughing at me because I couldn’t read properly. Later that year, in that English class I would wish I was smart and could read like them. I still do to this day, but not as much because I’ve gotten over that stage.  The teacher that was in charge of the “slow” students would make us sit there reading the same book over and over. I

  • Essay On My Love Of Reading

    2693 Words  | 6 Pages

    My parents always embraced my love of reading. My mother stayed at home with her children and she was instrumental in my learning to read. Whenever we were at the store, my parents wouldn’t buy my sister and I every toy we asked for, but they never said no when we asked for a book. They would buy us any book because reading was beneficial and they wanted us to stay interested in it. Neither of my parents really monitored my reading either. They let me pick out whatever I wanted to read and never censored it. While I admit I never chose anything deliberately to “adult” for me. Looking back, I’m kind of surprised my parents gave me so much freedom with reading.

  • Love Of Reading

    Even after I learned to read for myself, every night she would sit in bed with me and read a few chapters of whatever book we were working on that week. I loved reading and despite the fact that my parents would read aloud to me as a child. They continually exclaimed that they didn 't know where I got my love of reading from since neither was much of an avid reader. Growing older, I realized that my love of reading came from my grandfather. In particular, my grandpa played a large role in influencing some of my worst reading habits. He read while he ate, while we were out, even while he was walking, all habits I picked up and enact to this

  • Importance Of Oral Reading

    1326 Words  | 3 Pages

    This wasn’t a problem for me because I had my parents and two older sisters to help prepare me for school. As a child, I was always read to, which turned into reading along, and eventually I would read by myself and even to my family. Growing up with this oral story telling inspired me to participate in UIL, University Interscholastic League which was created to provide leadership and guidance to Texas public and primary school’s academic and athletic competitions (About The UIL). I participated in UIL storytelling and oral reading from second grade to eighth grade where I got first place every year. To this day I love oral stories, being read to, or reading to someone else because I have grown up with it and it has been an enormous and influential part of my life. I believe that this is why we, as a society, love oral story telling so much. Even as a high schooler, when we would read books in class, we would with the help of audiobooks, or take turns reading to each

    The next year was when we started a program called Accelerated Reading. In this program they had a list of books that were part of the program, and each of those books had a corresponding online test. At the beginning of the year we had a reading tested and then were given a reading level ranging from one through five that we had to follow. We had a metal cart in the back of our classroom that held a few of the AR books. This was when I started to not like reading books. It was very difficult to find a book that was part of the AR program, was in my AR level, and I was actually interested in the topic of the book. I had to read many books that I didn 't like, because I needed to have a certain amount of AR points by the end of the quarter. This carried on until I was in fifth grade. Once I got to fifth grade on the first day of school my teacher introduced the book Coraline to our class. It was her favorite book to read to fifth graders. Everyday she read a chapter to the class. I loved this time because I hadn 't had a teacher read out loud to the class since first grade. I remember the book being very interesting and a little weird. When it reached

  • My Feelings on English language

    3274 Words  | 7 Pages

    My parents began reading to me when I was very young. When I was only six months old, my parents bought me a number of plastic books. Using simple picture books, my parents taught me to recognize pictures of objects and how to associate those objects with their specific names. I learned how to talk when I was only a year old, and my parents continued to read to me in order to help me build up my vocabulary. I specifically remember my mother reading Sesame Street books to me. When she read to me, she used a different voice for each of the characters. I heard the same stories read to me so many times that I began to memorize them. I was able to recite my favorite stories before I could read them for myself. While I was unable to read, my skills with the English language were developing as I learned and used the words that I heard my parents read to me. My parents, my first teachers, made learning the English language an enjoyable experience for me at a young age.
