Assignment 1 - Joy
My earliest memory of reading was in second grade when we sat in a circle to read our reading book. We would first read the vocabularies, then the story, and last the questions. I can't remember my parents reading to me because they could not read English. I know my older sisters read to me and my younger siblings. We did not read much, only when we brought home books from school.

My favorite book as a child was Goldilock and the Three Bears. I found it funny how Goldilock went through all the family's stuff.

No. I have never read an entire series of books. Although, my sister did invite me to over the summer. I did not like to read as a child. I rather play outside or draw. Reading was a struggle for me and I remember being put in a reading group. Now, I do enjoy reading to by baby boy. He loves books.

I am sure my past teachers did read aloud but I can not think of a book right off. I'm really trying and nothing is coming to mind.

Well, like I said, I don't read much, so I have not encounter a book that has made a difference in my life. If you recommend one, I will read it.

Yes, I do choose to read for pleasure now. I've got to like the book to keep me reading unless it relates to school, then it is a must.
