Who read to you? Well, I remember having my Elementary teachers read aloud to the class, but as far as reading at home I can’t really recall anyone reading to me. I know it seems kind of sad to think that no one at home read to me but I have no memories what so ever. Did they read to you often? My Kindergarten teacher read to the class every day at reading time. We would always sit Indian style on the floor in front of her. I enjoyed listening to the stories as a kid, but I always seemed to think about playtime more then anything else.
What was your favorite book as a child? My favorite book as a kid was Curious George.
Did you ever discover, love, and devour an entire series of books? I actually did get involved into the Goosebumps series. I tried to collect every single one mainly because I enjoyed the scary plot of the books.
Did you like to read as a child? Well, I can remember reading as a child and it seemed really fun at first, but I soon lost interest in reading fairly quickly. I think the reason I didn’t love to read was because I could not stay focused on what I was reading.
Was reading a joy or a struggle? Reading to me always seemed like a struggle more than a joy. I always felt pressure from my teachers to read which didn't make it much fun.
Did your teachers read aloud regularly? What books did they read? My early grade teachers read aloud to the class, but I really don’t remember much after 4th grade.
Did a book ever make a difference in your life? Not really.
Do you choose to read for pleasure now? Not really, but if I had more time I would consider reading more often.

Clint,
ReplyDeleteI think you would make a great "man in the yellow hat" The kids in class would eat it up if you kind of dressed the part and read a Curious George book to them.
You know, my mom read tons of books to me but I don't remember her reading to my brothers very much. Maybe she did and I didn't notice. I may be wrong but I think A lot of people don't think of reading stories to little boys as much as little girls. Maybe because boys are typically more active.
ReplyDeleteI totally remember the Goosebumps series! I forgot about that when I was writing my blog. I really enjoyed those books in school. My mom always thought they were weird!
