Looking at reading through my past -
Beginning Stages
First started 'reading', more like looking, at picture books and flash cards. -
Kindergarten
Started reading very simple sentences and reading short picture books. -
Period: to
2nd-3rd Grade
Began reading chapter books and becoming a more advanced reader. Read a lot of the Magic Treehouse books. -
4th Grade
Read Harry Potter and other advanced chapter books for 4th graders. -
Period: to
5th-6th Grade
Read more books that I considered interesting. Mostly about sports and biographies or autopiographies of famous athletes. Read some non-fiction as well. Read items related to topic of certain projects during school. -
Period: to
Junior High
More content specific reading related to class subjects. Still read books interesting to me such as: Any Harry Potter books out at the time, Lord of the Rings series, genre specific books (mystery). -
Period: to
High School
This is where reading started to get really content specific and a lot of textbook reading. Still read novels, fictional stories, and other interesting books to me. More of the focus was on school related reading. Classic novels became really popular with me during this time and I still enjoy reading them. -
Period: to
College
Textbooks, textbooks, textbooks, literature, and then some more textbooks. Reading has become increasingly boring due to the textbook reading and content area reading. However, still read novels (Dickens, Sinclair, Doyle, Dumas, etc.) and I really love Rick Riordan books because Mythology fascinates me.
