I really don’t remember much about learning how to read, the only thing that comes to mind would be learning the alphabet first. I do remember that I was definitely reading well by 2nd grade. Something that also comes to mind is the fact that there were a lot of kids in my class who had trouble reading and were not treated well by our teachers for it. Even as far as middle school there would be some kids who had a little trouble reading big pages of writing out loud. I think my experience wasn’t bad, although I don’t have any memory of it. I believe it’s way too far back for me to remember at this moment, and frankly I’ve never actually thought of it before. I feel a little sad that I can’t remember something like this because I would be proud that I’m able to read somewhat in two languages now. It’s hard for me to try to dig into those memories of me as a child. When I think of this question, I think of kindergarten or first grade. When did I learn how to read, I’m not even sure I know the age. From what I can remember about reading is that I really did love it. I remember we started off with big books that had its words bolded and simple enough for us to understand. I think I learned how to pronounce letters first and then add them together in. Thinking of this reminds me of preschool, I was taught how to say all of them months by repetition and I think I was able to read them out loud. It seems like a blur and I can’t remember much, I wish I could remember the exact moment. It would be so cool to even remember the first book I read all by myself. I think it would have been one of those books that the school would make us read and choose from, but it would still be nice to remember a little accomplishment like that. I’m not sure what else I can say about this question. I just wonder what it would’ve been like for me as a child to first learn how to read. It sucks that I can’t even remember the period of time in my life that this happened. This also makes me wonder what the average time a child learns how to read would be. It should be like 4 or 5 right, Im not even sure. At least this question was able to bring up some good memories of me going to the library and picking out my favorite books. I also remember that when we were able to do this we had to pick books that were for a certain grade level. I knew some kids had trouble with that and I didn’t think it was that fair. It’s weird to think back to those times and it does make me a little sad.
