Reading and writing is something everyone has to learn to do. I really truly don't like reading and writing. The only time I read is when I am required by my teacher or my parents reward me for reading. There are sometimes when I actually began to like the book I'm reading. Even though reading and writing aren't my favorite things to do, I know it's something I must master. It is something I will need to do the rest of my life in order to be successful.
Reading and writing aren't my favorite things to do. I am fearful of messing up and failing. When I am reading, I get bored because I don't understand what the book is about. Sometimes I don't understand some of the words. It is harder for me to excel in my reading and writing class. I usually make a lower grade in this class.
Reading and writing has always been one of my worst classes. I know reading and writing is a challenge for me, so I have to work harder and smarter to succeed.
Although reading and writing aren’t my favorite things to do, I still have to do them. Most of the time, I read because it's an assignment from my teacher. My parents also try to get me to read more. They encourage me by rewarding me with something I like if I do all my reading. I need my parents and teachers to help motivate me to read.
There are a few times when I enjoy reading and writing. In the forth grade, my teacher shared a book about a man who changed his life to become a better person. I read the entire book and really enjoyed it. I also enjoy reading short stories about athletes. These stories inspire me because I like sports. I think the challenge for me is to find books that interest me so I can enjoy book more.
Reading and writing has been hard for me to enjoy. Sometimes I only read because my teacher assigns homework or my parents reward me. There have only been a few books I have read that I enjoyed. Even though I don't enjoy reading and writing a lot, I will still keep trying. Maybe one day it will become one of my favorite things to do.
Steven,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your honesty. It gives me more of an idea of how to help you. Can you tell me more about the book in fourth grade? I am curious about what made the book so enjoyable to you. I think I have some books that have short stories about athletes. Remind me to show them to you.
You talked a lot about reading. Can you tell me more about how you became the writer you are today? You did a good job on organizing your essay, Where did you learn that? What has helped you learn to write better? What do you still want to get better at?
