My Reading History
As achild my Mom read Bible stories to me. They were interesting and exciting. My Dad on the other hand felt it important, that in order to have a better understanding of what you read; you need a deeper conept of words. He would have my siblings and I look up 10 words a day, write them in sentences in addition to our homework. As a child it helped me acheive A's, but I started to dislike reading and homework. I would not do the work to learn it, I would do it just for the A. As I matured I saw that what my Dad tried to instill in me was truly important, and so I started to read more on my free time. At this point in my life I do enjoy reading non-fiction books.
