memories of learning to read...

reading was never really a struggle for me to learn the skill as it was to practice it. i have to admit that through the years i have bared with all the crap teachers assigned and i did the readings some of the time but i could never really "dive in" like the teachers always said. most of the stuff we had to read were either in old english (which SUCKS!!!) or just boring enough to get past the first few pages b4 falling asleep. i just wish that throughout middle and high school the teachers would have incorporated all types of readings instead of just the "literary classics" that have been taught since our parents were little. three words sum it all up...CHANGE THINGS UP!
