Do
I read? Can I read? I mean really read. The kind of reading where I
can't imagine not reading every single day. I'm talking about a habit
here. The habit. Like brushing my teeth. Every day.
What is it about me that makes me a reader... or not?
What can I do to improve?
It's
no different from any other part of my life. I have to constantly ask
myself: how can I get better? Even Paul George and Kobe Bryant, as
talented basketball players as they are, ask themselves how they can
improve their game.
Of course, this all means
that reading has to be something worth doing. That reading is something
everyone should know how to do and do well.
I've never met anyone, heard of anyone, or seen anything that says, "reading isn't important - don't do it."
I
have met a lot of people who have said, "I don't like reading. Reading
is hard. I don't read. I don't take time to read. Reading sucks."
Patricia
Polacco has dyslexia and didn't learn to read until she was 14. Then
she couldn't stop reading. She is now a professional writer.
I've
also met people who have said, "reading that book gave me hope that my
life wasn't so bad. Reading that story taught me that I wasn't the only
one being treated like a piece of crap. Reading that story made me
realize I wanted to help cure cancer or find a way to help people who
were homeless. Reading let me travel to places all over the world
without having to leave my room.

I don't read every day but when I do I read 20 minutes becuSe I don't have time to read every day
ReplyDeleteTry to fit in reading
I read at least 30 minutes a day It is like a part of my schedule.i read more than five times a week.
ReplyDeleteI should read more kind of books. right now I only read fantasy or fiction
My daily reading habit is that I read 7 days a week. I always choose my own books. What I need to improve in is that I need to read more autobiography's. I read like 40 or 50 minutes on school days and even more on weekends. I think I already have a reading habit.
ReplyDeleteShin Be
That's a great habit. I usually read a lot on weekends too

1. I normally have a daily but if I have a crazy day then I probably don't read that day.
ReplyDelete2. I need to improve on reading by take time from something else like video games.
I read everyday before going to bed for about 20 minutes with a book of my choice because I love reading. I like how books pull me in and take me to places I've never been.
ReplyDeleteI think I can improve by diversifying the genres I read, because I usually read fiction and I would like to try biography. I want to read biography because I want to learn about other people's lives.
~Vivian
I read 20 minutes a every school day I my house my own choice because reading brings you
ReplyDeleteAdventure in you head.
I can improve by reading different genres because I only read two different types of genres realistic fiction and fantasy.
my daily reading habit is I read before I go to bed and go on with life. it's not much but it's something. the reason I don't read five days a week is because i forget. i want to read more but i just need to read some a day, and it will becaome a habbit.

ReplyDelete1.)
Ever since recently, I had started a new reading plan. That plan is to read at least 6 days a week 20 minutes a day. So, a habit I have is to read once I get home from school and a few minutes before I get to bed. I choose my own book. I read at least 5 times a week because I like reading and I know that I am learning.
2.)
I can improve reading with feeling and reading to someone. I need to be able to understand my reading in order to get something out of it - reading with feeling. Reading to someone helps build confidence. I think my genres is really diverse I will read any book that is recommended. I read my own desirable books, I find myself an excellent reader. I never fake read and overall I think I am perfect!
i have never fake read before either it would just ruin yourself because you look at books that hard workers made, and you sit there not carong of what they have made and done
Delete1. I read at night before i sleep for about 15 minutes then my mom reads to me for 5 minutes. I read 5 times a week.
ReplyDelete2. I can improve by reading more.
I don't read every single but I do read most of the week.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have my parents help my choose with my books because I never know what book is right for me but sometimes I like to choose my own. A way that I can improve is make more time for me to read and I can try new genre.
1: My daily reading habit is to read at least 4 times a week. If I don't like a book it becomes more challenging to read that often. If I like a book I read for more then 30 minutes 7 days a week.
ReplyDelete2: In my reading habit, I would really like to try a different genre. I am really into fantasy and fiction, so whenever I try another genre unless it is violent in any way I find it boring. I am going to try different genres because I feel that I need to give other genres a chance.

I dont read every day sometimes i read for like 25 min or more or not i think i need to read more
ReplyDeleteif I like the book im reading I will read about 10-60 mins a night but well I read if my arms get num (some times) I spot reading and go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteread a drimerint genre(I will try).
Yes, I read 7 times a week. I do because I like reading.
ReplyDeleteI can improve if my dad stops saying reading is a waste of time.
I read every day of the week for an hour.
ReplyDeleteNothing to improve.
1.) I don't read 5 days a week. I read every single day for 20 minutes (if I have time). I love to read. Sometimes, I read 30 minutes if I have more time. It rarely ever happens when I can't read a day. Yesterday, I read for 20 minutes because I had quite some homework.
ReplyDelete2.) I am not sure if I can improve too much, but I know. I can a little bit. I can improve by taking time from my day to read 20 minutes. If I realize that I have to much homework and I can't read because I am staying up until 10:00 pm, then I get a little sad. When I have to do some really hard homework, and I don't want to do it, I always think to myself: at least I can read; that makes me happy.
1. i read like 2-4 times a week and the book i read expire me to read more series and read books that author made
ReplyDelete2. maybe read bigger books or get more books on my ipad so if i don't bring my book that i was reading i can read it on my ipad
I would read a book with my friend or my mom or dad. I only really enjoy graphic novels but my teachers and parents have helped me adapt to other type of genre. At my old school i was in a reading class with my friends in 1st and 2nd grade, At that time i didn't no how to read that good i used to just freeze and it was always very embarrassing for me to read in front of the class but i have over came that fear and i have gottin help from my family and friends. At home i read ONLY graphic novels that is the only type of genre of books i read at my house. i try to real 3 chapters per 3 days. -Teresa
ReplyDeleteI read but sometimes I do not have time to read because of everything that goes on in my life. I do read a book of my choice and right now I am reading Insurgent. What I can do to improve is to set reminders to read so I can remember and keep my book with all the time
