Literacy+Autobiography

To be honest, I don’t have much memory becoming a reader/writer. I believe these things came relatively easily to me, as I can always remember enjoying reading and writing for the most part. My mom read my brother and I books every night before we went to bed and I loved every minute. I remember being so excited to pick out a new book and listen to the next adventure. I think this had a lot to do with my enjoyment of reading at an early age. While I can’t seem to remember much about learning to print, I do remember learning cursive in 3rd grade. I’ll never forget going into the classroom one morning and the alphabet that was posted around the room in print was suddenly in cursive. This was an exciting time in my writing development, as it brought about a new challenge in my learning. While I do not have many memories of learning how to read and write, I do know that I have always enjoyed these activities.
