  • Reading is the WORST

    Reading is the WORST
    I remember really hating reading when I was in third grade. My parents thought it would be a great idea to take me to the library each week to pick out a book and write a report on the book. I hated doing this and I hated having to read in general.

    In 4th grade, we read "The BFG" as a class and I remember loving that book. I decided to pick up another book by the same author, "The Witches" and I could not put it down. I also read "Matilda" and Roald Dahl soon became my favorite author.

    The summer before 7th grade, I got my phone taken away so I spent all summer reading. I read the whole "Michael Vey" book series in two weeks and started to read Percy Jackson as well.
  • Reading is boring

    Reading is boring
    When I was in 8th grade, I was not very interested in reading. I remember reading "Animal Farm" in my geography class for whatever reason. I found that book very boring and often fell asleep while reading it. I think I was too young to understand the themes of the book because I think it is a great book now.

    I'm bored, I guess I'll start reading
    During 2020, I was very bored and tired of watching so much TV so I picked up reading again. I bought a lot of books online and began to read them. I really enjoyed it!
