My Essay
Hello, I have a lot of news! First I'm in Miss Lidell's class, second I have to write an essay!!!
What Reading means to me?
Hi, my name is Katherine. I’m eight. Well, today I’m going to tell you a story What Reading Means to me?
It all started long ago. It started when I was three and went to Kindergarden. I leart to read there. But, I stopped. I don’t know why.
It was pre-school time. In Russia (That’s where I from) pre-school means a program for children to get prepared for school. So I started reading.
It was hard when I got to first grade, because we read a lot. We read two,three stories a day. It was hard because Russin is sotimes difficult. Do you want to know why? Well, because there are some letters sound the same but are different. Let’s continue.
Then I came to the United States of America. It was hard to learn. But, mom and dad helped me by checking easy books. My first book was Ten Red Apples .
Now I’m smart! I like to read Fiction and Nonfiction. One of my favorite things to do after I read a book is to find main ideas and some details that support it.(In this sentence it means main ideas.) And also I like to write about that book. And that’s one of the things reading means to me, learning. Learning maen ideas, supporting details,words.
Now let’s talk about words some more. One thing I don’t like is to write words I don’t know, bercause it takes a lot of time and plus you have to reread the book.
I spend about one, two hours reading, because I like to read. Reading is my favorite thing to do! When I read, reading means to me fun, games, and a lot of joy of course! I like to read,to use my inagination, because when I read I imagine what I read.
Well, Bye- Bye!!!
