I have always loved reading. My earliest memories are of my parents reading to me before bed. I was lucky enough to have a quite extensive library of books at home to look at. My parents showed me that reading was fun and could be enjoyable. I also loved going to the library, especially in the summers for story time and to check out books. Some of my favorite books as a child were Goodnight Moon and The Berenstein Bears series.
My Librarian in Elementary School was one of my favorite teachers. Her teaching was a direct reflection of her love for books. The library at school became a favorite, familiar place for me to read as well.
Although reading became more of a chore throughout middle school, I continued to read on my own outside of school work.
My favorite author quickly became Roald Dahl. I became hooked on his amazing storytelling and descriptive writing capabilities. I read almost all of his books.
I really try to expose my students to all different types of books and genres. I will continue to show my students my love for reading and hope that they will become life long readers.
