Literacy History

        I first learned the letters in the alphabet when I was in Kindergarten. Mrs. Sorensen read to us a book every day about 1 letter but we learned a different letter every 2-3 days. I enjoyed when somebody read to me because I kind of pay more attention when somebody reads to me. I just feel like its more interesting hearing it from somebody. The first book I ever read was about a little cat who tried learning the letters in the alphabet and he learned one very day like us. I did like reading on my own. I like reading on my own but I enjoy the book when somebody reads to me or I just hear it. When I first learned how to write my name I was in Kindergarten. Mrs. Sorensen gave us a paper with lines and we had to write our name like 5 times a day so that we remember how it is written. It made me feel happy because it was the first time that I was able to write my name and it actually looked kind of sloppy because my handwriting was really sloppy but I still enjoyed it.


       I really liked learning how to read and write because I knew that in the future you would need how to learn how to read and write for everything so I needed to know how to read and write. When I first went to school I was really happy because I felt like I was really big, and if people would treat me like an adult for going to school. I was excited to meet new people and make new friends. When I found out that my mom wasn't going to be able to stay with me, I started to cry because I didn't want her to leave. I told her that I didn't want to go to school and I wanted to stay home with her, but it didn't work. I ended up going to school, learning how to read and write, meeting new people, making friends. getting good grades, and enjoying the fact that I have the opportunity to come to school.
