Reading Reflection (2)

I am going to try this again since I left out some information on the last reading reflection post. I think my reading has extremely increased by reading at least 90 minutes per week. Well, my reading interest has greatly increased at least. I used to view myself as a strong reader - way ahead of my age group. However, I kind of stopped reading when it was no longer "cool" to be a good reader towards the end of 4th grade. This assignment has helped me find the interest to read again, even more so than last semester. I did not read as much before because I always felt like I had enough work to do and activities; therefore, I felt like I did not have the time to read. Fortunately, I found that you can always make time to read, especially when it is a really great book. I think it is great to continue reading new texts and even old texts that you used to love reading. As far as reading in the future, I definitely see myself reading next semester, next year, and even in 5 years. I am now reading books with the focus that students may ask me what particular books are about, and I do not want to appear dumb and a "non-reader" to them. Maintaining an active reading life SHOULD be easy since I like to read again, but I need to keep pushing myself to read as well. Overall, I liked being "forced" to read for a grade since it made me have to do it. However, this is something I am glad I had to do now. Great job of helping me find enjoyment in reading again!! :)
