Green Eggs and Ham was the first book I ever read in preschool. The event was enjoyable and unforgettable since, as I recall, our teachers even prepared actual ham and green eggs to accompany the story. -
I especially enjoyed reading the Pigeon series by Mo Willems. I always brought my Mo Willems book to tutoring after school, and my tutors were always reading it with me. I became enthusiastic about reading because of these stories. -
Junie B. Jones: First Graderwas the first chapter book I ever read. I was thrilled to follow along with a true chapter book during our class's "popcorn reading" exercise. -
I began reading books by Judy Moody and enjoyed renting them from the library. I became more independent and discovered the joy of reading when I chose my own books. -
My group read The Wanderer in class. Together, we worked on an enjoyable project that involved creating a play, song, or even a game based on the book. This was among the first situations in which reading was linked to creativity. -
I read Wonder in sixth grade. As a class, we followed along in the book while listening to the audiobook. We then discussed the issues and characters as a class, which strengthened the story's impact. -
We read Red Queen in seventh-grade English class. Similar to Wonder, we listened to the audiobook and followed along before discussing potential outcomes in small groups. I was fascinated and want to read more because of this. -
I read and discussed poems for English class my sophomore year. Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe, for example. These tasks forced me to consider the use of words, meaning, and understanding more carefully. -
I started reading fiction on my own, both for fun and as an escape. Stories that kept me interested and allowed me to unwind outside of school drew me in.
