#8 For the Love of Reading
To Read or Not to Read Growing up I always had an immense passion for reading. I loved the way you could absolutely lose yourself in a book. It doesn't matter where you are, what you are going through, or what is expected of you, the moment a good book is in your hands it can all just slip away. This feeling has always captured me, and I admire any author who can not only do it once, but who repeatedly writes books that are just inescapable. This wonder and emotion is something that I knew I wanted to pass onto my students. I have always loved to read, and there is never a moment that I am not "currently reading" a book. However, I do go long stretches without cracking it open. This class allowed to reignite that passion and love I have for reading. I want to teach Kindergarten for a million reasons, and I truly admire a well written or beautifully illustrated picture book. However, I have debated teaching other grades simply for the desire to read.
