My
Literacy Timeline
When I was younger I always loved reading books. The
first book I remember my mom and grandma always reading to me was the creation
of the sleepy bear dunes. It was a mythical story about how it was made and
either my mom or my grandma would read it to me almost every night.
I also loved another book that just for the pictures
in it. It showed all of these cool
animals and how they would live. I never could remember the name of the book I
just knew it as the book with the animals in it.
I started to
like books early on because of pictures mostly. The understanding of what those
pictures were and what they meant came later on with the help of my mom. So I
loved to see all the animals and funny pictures in all the little kids books
that we had.
As I grew older I began to read quite a bit. I loved
reading mystery and adventure books. Books like the Michigan Chillers and
American Chillers series. I’ve read almost every one of them in both series.
But later on around 7th and 8th
grade I started not to read as much. Playing sports became a bigger and more
exciting thing for me to do. So with school and sports, the time for reading
just wasn’t there anymore.
Once high school came around I didn’t really read at
all anymore. The only things I read were the books that
I had to for school and
they didn’t interest me. That made me start to not like reading.
I never had time to read anything that I wanted. I
had school, sports, homework and now a job.
So now my understanding of literature/literacy
started to come from watching TV and movies and also listening to music.
But now that my sports are done since I’m in
college, I'm hoping to get back to reading more.
