This weekend, your assignment is to discuss with your parents how you learned to read. Since they will probably have a stronger recollection of this experience than you do, ask them about how you learned to read, what types of questions you asked, what you were most interested in as far as particular books, stories you liked to be told (even if they were not read to you, just told by a family member), or what your favorite reading spots were when you were younger.
This is meant to be a fun activity, not a stressor! If you are uncomfortable asking your parents, or if they do not have strong memories of the occasion, try to remember for yourself a time when you read something that made your imagination take flight or just made you feel alive and interested in another world.
Please bring these stories and experiences with you to class on Monday to share (they need not be written down, just committed to memory well enough to be retold), and, if possible, the book or a few books that you enjoyed reading as a child!
Thanks and have a fun weekend!
p.s. MaKenna, we all miss you and really hope you are feeling better soon!!
