My expierience with books began when i was in kindergarden. My teacher Mrs. Lamb was trying to teach me to read, and i would always say "But Mrs. Lamb I don't know how to read." Finally after alot of work Mrs. Lamb did teach me how to read.
 * __My Literacy Autobiography by Andrew Elliott__**

After I actually learned how to read i didn't read to much unless I had to. Then i reached high school and randomly got back into reading when my little cousin made me read the twilight novels. To my suprise I really liked them, and went on to read other vampire series books such as the house of night series by P.C. and Kristin Cast, and the Thirst series by Christopher Pike.

Now that i'm in college I still read here and there but not as much as i used to. I am however excited that i will get to read diffrent books for class. I really enjoy reading it is very peacefull. When i read i sit in front of my fire place in my pjs and just read for hours.

__//** My Literacy Autobiography by Desiree O Simmons **//__ The way I learn to read was through bribery. My kindergarden teacher would brib us with snacks, or longer naps, 30 extra minutes in recess, but the main thing she would brib us with was a coupon for a pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Everybody use to run at the book shelf grabbing books left and right. That was how I learn to read(well look at the pictures until she started helping us learn).

In school I loved to read and have never stop. I was one of those kids that try and read books above her grade level and sometimes I passed and sometimes I didn't do good a all. My favorite series was Goosebumps, in middle school. Now I enjoy books by Wahida Clark and Keisha Ervin.

Now that I'm in college I can't wait to read books by authors I have never heard of and hopefully I will love them. I love to read with some soft music on and the televison on Spongebob.

My Literacy Autobiography
By: Tiffany Smith

Learning to read.........I actually don't recall. Obviously you start off in kindergarten learning the alphabet and sounds. From the on my reading has progressed. I can't focus when there is noise or actions going on around me I get distracted and veer off in my own world. I try not to but it always seems to happy. I do my home work and assignments with the television off and just a light put my lap top away and hope the hallway is quiet.

I only read books that interest me something that can relate to me, or something like Zane books or Teri Woods books. Besides books like that I don't read and never planned to until I got here and had to take this class.

Last semester I admit that I didn't study or look over anything for reading.....it was like I was basically given grades. We didn't have homework or reading assignments to practice. I never looked over the vocabulary list she gave us and evidently it paid off. I'm back in the class cause I didn't pass the Nelson Denny.

By. Devin Wolf Me and reading, wasn't bestfriends. As a child, ﻿I didn't like reading beacuse we would have to stay up in front of the class and reading. I would love learning how to say and write my alphbet. As a child, I would wonder why do people read in the first place. I enjoy everything but reading. And another reason me and reading was enemy was because I had a speech problem. I would stubbly over words and misprounouce them and other students would have a lil smirk on there face. They would make me upset many times. Grownig up and going higher in my classes, I loved and enjoyed math problems. I cared less for reading for some reason and all my thoughts were just on history, math, and writing. The teachers would give us reading assignments to do for homework, but I really didn't find nothing that intersted me. I would skem through the chapter or just go through there to find the answers.

Entering middle school, I started to figure out that I needed to read more often, but really read every word and know what I just read. I started playing sports and that help me to read alot. Learning the play book meant I had to read and my parents were like if I can do it for football I can do it for myself. So when I reached high school I started to read more, but items that interested me. Like magzine, sports book, wars that happen in the past, action and funny books, a little fiction, and stories. I enjoy reading the first sentence or paragraph of every book, because that allows me to know if the book going be something I like. Edgar allen poe books I liked and several others. But do I read alot not days not really, math is my passion not reading truth be told.. But I do read...

I remember the first book I read like it was yesterday, it was Dr. Suess green, eggs and ham. I had the book ever since I could remember. My mother used to read it to me all the time. “I am Sam” “Sam I am” I repeated the words as she read them to me. I can also remember following my older sister around the house with the red hard back book in my hand begging her to read it to me, because I hadn’t learned yet. When I finally learned to read I was excited always bragging telling everyone i could that i knew how to read. I remember running around the house wanting to read the book to everyone.

Till this day I must say that I still like to read but not as much as I did when I first learned. Today in time if i were to read the book has to interest me and keep me interested throughout the whole story for me to finish it. Eventually as the years went by I stopped reading, I was so busy I never really had the time to sit down and read a book like I used too. There was always something better to do. Like video games, listening to music or any other type of entertainment. I believe that when you have skills but don’t use them you start to lose them. And that’s probably what happened to me when it came down to reading

My Autobiography By: DeAnna Jenkins

The first book I read was a Whinnie the Pooh book; that was my theme as a child and became my nickname: Pooh Bear. It was a book about numbers and letters and turning the letters into words. I remember my grandmother used to read it to me every night because I would beg her to. Then eventually I would memorize what she would say and I would read it back. After that I would read Judy B Jones, Barenstain Bears, Arthur, and Dr Seuss books. From there I fell in love with reading. The only reason I wanted to read was because my grandmother would read all the time and I would mimic her actions. Reading was my ultimate favorite hobby.

Now that I'm older I don't like to read as much. There are only certain books I can read. If they are series I like to start on them because it's a challenge to continue reading to the end and discovering the conclusion. I think I stopped liking to read because in grade school I didn't comprehend as well. Since my senior year of high school my comprehension is becoming better. Due to myself being forced to take this reading class it has made much improvement as well. I'll most likely start reading more often when this class ends.

The first book I read was captain underpants. I instantly became in love with the book series and it became a must that i read all of them. It was about an principle who was hypnotized into a split personality that became known as "captain underpants" by two students. They had many weird, exciting, and funny adventures. Through these books, I began to love to read. From then on I kept incresing in what I read. I remember in middle school when i won a reading contest with three others from my school and was able to go on a special field trip to see a famous author.

Now that Im older I dont read as much as I use too. I still mainly just read drama, comedy, and suspense type books. Mainly something that can keep my attention and not bore me. I think I stop reading so much is because I start playing video games more and doing other activities. Due to myself being forced to take this reading class it has made much improvement as well. I'll most likely start reading more often when this class ends.

//My Literacy Autobiography By: Kristin Mitchell // //As a little girl I remember my grandmother helping me read. i think i owned every Dr.Suess book that exsisted! also, another favorite of mine were disney books. Our favorite thing to do was to sit on the wooden swing out back or the tree house built in the woods out back of my grandparents yard and just read. Also, my fondest memories of elemenary were kindergarden. My teachers name was Mrs. Thompson and she was the best teacher! My favorite part of the day was nap time. Mrs. Thompson would read to us, show the pictures and slowly i would fall asleep. also, i remember her having a mock tree house in our classroom that was just shelves of books when you would get to the top! i loved to read! there were so many ways to make it interesting when you were younger and it just stuck with me through the years! //
