WRT 150: Literacy Timeline



·         Loved books as a child
o   Learned to read at age four
o   Puppet shows at Daycare with Simba and Lemon
o   Wrote stories in Kindergarten
o   Made up different scenarios
o   Spelling tests every week in 1st grade
§  If I got anything lower than an A on a spelling test, I was on punishment for the week until the next spelling test.
·         Love dwindled as I got older
o   Did not like reading as much
o   Preferred to create things instead
o   Mostly read for school only
§  Barley read for school
o   Middle school books were boring!
o   Then there was high school
·         Love was found in high school
o   Found interest in books I read in English class
o   We had to read a different book and report on it every month
o   This class helped me to rediscover my love for books!
o   Since 9th grade, I have never lost my passion for reading
o   I even enjoy reading for my classes now
§  Even Political Science!
