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 interpret and read letters and words, 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 stressful! 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 tomorrow
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!
