Literacy Autobiography Reflection
I get really excited when my children start to learn how to read. I make sure they love books and reading. I even purchased an eReader for my older daughter. She loves to read. For myself, I know it is bad but I am not much of a reader. I would grab a book when I plan trips off island so I could read it on the plane to help me fall asleep. I read a book instead of taking sleeping pills. I have to admit that if a book is interesting, I end up staying up until I finish it. But it is very rare. Actually, when I was younger, I did read a lot but I think it stopped when I started having kids. It is so funny because when I started this teaching program, my younger children were amazed to see me reading a different book other than their bedtime story books.

Yes, I do agree, it is a better alternative than sleeping pills! And Geri, I am so glad to see you on this thing. Guess all has been squared away. Happy blogging.
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad Geri, I have faced my own denial about reading. I was actually intimidated when we took the field trip to the library. However, cool gadgets (like your daughters ereader) have inspired me to start reading again. I have downloaded several books to read now that I found a Kindle app for my phone.
