wow, hard to believe the year is almost over... We're almost sophomores guys! In terms of reading, I have come pretty far. I have read only a few books but i've learned how to read which is the important thing. I have learned about theme and how to read between the lines and many other things. A book that I have just finished was the Hunger Games. It was extremely good and I plan to read the rest of the books soon then I want to read a few nicholas sparks books.
Something that I have learned about myself as a reader is that I don't comprehend what I am reading very well unless it is very intriguing to me, therefore I have learned that I have to conciously remind myself to pay attention and stay focused; and when I am reading something with imagery, I picture the words that I am reading in my head as a scene like in a movie. Or if I have seen the movie I picture the scene for that particular segment. Something else I have learned is that you really have to think about what your reading in order to accomplish the goal of reading in between the lines which is what I have worked pretty hard on this year in my outside reading assignments. I want to get better at that because I know that next year we will be doing a lot of reading in English class and I want to be able to understand the hidden meaning of the text. In the end, I really do truly believe that I have come a long way in my reading because I have become a much better reader and I have increased my reading level. But I plan to get better next year!
