Reading to me is a chance to show others what I like, if it is just to read or learn about something. I can read about the U.S marines and how they train, or I can read about a story of a marine. My feelings for reading have changed in a good way I feel like doing it more and not wanting to stop. I like to read more fiction then non-fiction depending on what the subject is, like the On the Run series is fiction and I read the series in a week, or the book I read earlier in the year Shooter was non-fiction but I never wanted to quit reading it.
Before this year I did not like to read at home but since I read the Alex Rider series I have been enjoying it. Another series that I am reading is full of action and it is The Kidnapped series which takes place after the On The Run series and that is why I think that I have started to like to read at home and understand the books that I read. Reading is learning to me even if it is fiction if you pay attention to what you read you can learn something.
What makes me want to read a book is that how it's interesting or if its recommended. If the book is good then I start to read it. After that I check to see if there is a series and if there is I read the series. When I'm done with the series I try to find better books.
When we read in class or at home it's always a challenge for me because it's telling me that I have to read more books. The books that I read are adventure, action, and fantasy.
Have my feelings for reading changed this year? Yes they have. This is how my feelings have changed, because earlier in the year I read The After Life - by Gary Soto. That book changed how I feel about reading books. How it changed my feelings is because of how detailed the book is and on top of that it is just an awesome book. I think that Mr. McGuire should read that book if he has not already.
My feelings about books have not changed this year because I have loved reading books my whole life. When I pick out a book, I pick out books I know I will enjoy. Books that will make me want to keep reading even when people tell me I have to stop. A good example of this kind of books are The Kingdom Keepers series. With these series I keep reading because I have had the experience to be in the setting (Walt Disney World in Florida) and I can say "Oh I know where that ride is!!!" I can connect really easily.
Another book that really draws me in is the Missing Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Once when I was reading Sent, the second book in the series, my sister LITERALLY had to drag me out of my room to eat dinner.
What does reading mean to you?
What I think about reading is that it's good for you. I only like reading when I can get a book that I like. Because if I can't get a picture in my mind then I can't read the book.
Have your feelings about reading changed this year?
Yes, my feelings have changed. Last year I was not really into books because I could never find the write book. I think this year it has changed because I've learned how to pick the write book. I think that this year it has made it better because we have got new books.
Have you found books that make you want to read more?
Yes, I have found books that made me want to read more. Like for example I liked the first book out of the series and after I read the first book it made me want to read the whole series.
Tell me about you as a reader.
Me as a reader I'm going to tell you the truth, I don't like reading. But reading is not that bad when you choice the write book.
The thing that makes me read a book is when some one tells me that it is a good book. The way that I can tell that they are telling me the truth is I read the back of the cover. If the back of the cover tells me that it is a book that has a bunch of problems that a character has to solve then I am going to read it. One of the other ways that get a good book is I ask my teacher to help me fine one. The only way that I ask my teacher to help me is if some one in my class can not help me. I ask my teacher to help me because he has read a lot of books and he can pick out a bunch of good books.
I think reading makes me smarter. I like reading better this year because I can read my books better. A book about fishing was my favorite this year because I like to fish. Reading is still not my favorite thing to do because I like to do stuff outside.
Coming into the fourth grade I hated reading so much. Throughout that year I started to like it but I barley ever read at home. When I came into the the fifth grade I had to read every week (much like this year) which made me start to like it a little bit more. Their were only a few books I read that year that were decent and the other books were not that great. The summer after fifth grade I started to read about twice every two weeks. When I came into the sixth grade, reading became a whole new level.
Mr. McGuire said we had to learn to read like adults. The reading homework minutes were jacked up to where you had to read 180 minutes a week. But I didn't really care because I started to read books that changed my view of reading such as Under A War-Torn Sky, Abduction and the On The Run series . I think by the end of the year I will be in love with reading Instead of hating like I did in the fourth grade.
Before I came to this school this year I did not like to read before in Circleville then at Logan Elm ever since I started reading it's like I can't stop reading books the book that I am reading know is Found and it's by Margaret Peterson Haddix its the best book I have ever read in my life. Reading means alot to me because it helps you learn.
When I read a book I will see if it a good book. I will also see if I will also see if I can understand the book. I used to hate reading but I like to read now.
The book I am reading is a good book it is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw.. I am on the 3rd book but you got to read all the books to get it .
I am not into the books you would find at school. I like the books about hunting and four wheelers and other stuff like that. When I pick up a book about that I just can't put it down. It is like someone put a reading spell on me. The book that helped me find this out was Preparing To Hunt.
When I pick up a book you find in school I just can't wait to put it down. I don't know why but I don't like them. So I think I should stick to my Hunting and Four Wheeler books.
What I use to think about reading was that it was really fun to read but now I'm just not in to reading that much any more. The book I'm reading right now is called Vet Volunteers Manatee Blues and I'm trying to read a little more than what I'm doing now.
My feelings about reading books haven't really changed, I have always felt the same way. is okay.. like some books i don't like reading because their either boring to me or not entertaining at all, But if i read a really good book then i wont want to quit reading it. I actually love reading but only if its good books, books that are intense, scary, sad, funny.. and a lot more..
This year has not really changed my opinion on reading. I'm in the middle on reading. I don't hate reading but I don't like reading all the time. One book that kind of changed my opinion of reading is Ghost Soldier. I just thought Ghost Soldier was an awesome book.
This year I started reading a little more, before I didn't like to read because I barely found books I liked but since the school got new books I read more each time I got a new book. The book that made me read more was Hero.com since then I been reading tons of great books like Rangers Apprentice book2 and all other books.
This year I really haven't changed about my opinions in reading.
The only way I like to read is if I have an excellent book like "Six Months to Live". I also like books like "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by: Jeff Kinny. The reason I like "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" is because Gregory(the main character) is like really talking to me.
So yes I do like reading but only when I have an excellent book.
Reading for me has changed for me but only at some points. Last year I didn't like Reading at all but it's kinda grown on me so it's okay but it's still not my favorite subject. Reading really changed when we got new book in the book-room and I could find something good to read.
It changed for me when I started reading the Chasing Yesterday series that Madison recommended for me. I'm finally on the third book and it's pretty good so I think I might finish it by the weekend.
For me reading isn't my strong suit but I've really like reading this year.
This year my feelings about reading have not changed because I have almost always like to read. some of the books that make me want to read more are :Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer, and A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. The Twilight series made me want to read more because I like myths, and A Walk To Remember made me want to read because it was a 'love story'.
I like to read a lot, and my mom yells at me if she wants me to help around the house and I start reading. My niece Ashley is fifteen and she says she wishes that she could read as fast as me.
Reading this year has changed the way I read. I used to love reading when it wasn't for a grade. At night I read before bed but I hated reading my SSR book because I knew that I simply had to. Now I get excited to read and I love guessing and predicting what will happen next.
I set goals now so if I'm on chapter 5, for example, I set a goal to go to chapter 9.
I really like reading because it is a great experience and you can put yourself in the main characters shoes. It's like a movie that you don't have to pay for.
The books that have helped me change my life as a reader are:
*Chasing Yesterday Series
*Twilight Series
*I'd tell you I'd Love You But then I'd Have To Kill You
*Bystander
*Drive-By
*The Misfits
and many others!
As a reader I lie to read books on Dragons like Dragon Codex and Dragon Rider. What is your favourable type of books? I will read any time that I'm not playing my games or something else. When is your favourable time to read? As you can tell I like Dragon books. The one that I'm reading now is Bronze Dragon Codex.
Yes my feelings about reading has changed this year and a I think it has grown on me in a good way so yes my feelings had changed about books.
I have found books that makes me want to read more like "Middle school is worse than meatloaf" is an awesome book, and that just makes me want to find more books, like that and different, in the same way.
Me as a reader has become better in reading than last year!Like when I try to find books, then it doesn't become as big as a problem than it has this year as last year.I think I will probably have reading grow on me through out the years and it will become better as I get older!I think anyways!That is what I think as me as a reader!
My feeling in reading changed this year because I was able to find new books to read at school and at home. This helped me because then I won't be looking for new books to read and so I don't get bad grades in Language Arts reading homework. Nerds is a good that got me reading even more.Me as a reader is to read even more.
I have never liked reading form the Third grade to the Fourth because never got a chance to read. When I got in the Fifth grade I got to read a lot but just never got a book that I liked. Then I hit the Sixth grade and I got my favorite book ever, the book is called The White Fox Chronicles. This book made me read a lot more.
My feelings about reading didn't change because I like reading but it has to be the right book. It has to be entertaining, something kinda like a mystery, and it has to be a little funny and maybe sad.
I have found this book named "Found". It is the first book of "The Missing" series and it made me want to read more.
This year I found that a lot of people like when friends request books. Most books that people read are books that their friends have read or books that they have picked out that they think you would like. I think it is helpful when people request books to me cause I know that I will enjoy the book cause your friends know what you like.

I think it is helpful when people request books to me cause I know that I will enjoy the book cause your friends know what you like. I found that if you find a book that you like or a type of series you are into that helps a lot!
This year my reading opinion has changed. I never like reading in 5th grade or below but this year I don't love reading. But at least now every time I have to read I don't want to kill myself. My favorite book this year was Drive By. Basically Drive By is about a boys brother gets killed by gang bangers and now there after the boy and his family. I don't really remember the boys name
This year my reading has been a lot more fun to do. Just last week my mom asked me if I wanted to read a book that she thought was really good. So I started reading the book and I have noticed that you will read a lot faster and want to read more if you find a book that you really like. My book is a series book it is called glass house. The series is called The Morganville Vampires. So what I am trying to say is that if you try different books then you might like them better than any other book that you have read.That video we watched was really cool. I think that people will just pick up a book and read if they like it well enough. I think that reading is one of the most important things in life that you can do. If you do not know how to read then you won't know how to do anything in life.
Reading is a matter of reading more than the first page. If you at least read more than the first page you have a chance of liking the book. I have never liked a book right off the bat. Like right now I'm reading Crash, thats a great book, but if i didn't read more than the beginning than I would never have a chance of liking the book. So yeah my feelings on reading books has changed, after the first page.
I never hated to read but this year I like to read more. I like to read more because I can go and ask anyone that likes the same kind of books as me and will be able to get a recommendation. A good book recommendation I got this year was the Harry Potter series.
I like to read if I can find a good book. If I can not find a book that gets me interested than I do not want to read. I really like books that I can compare to my life or that I can paint a picture in my mind.
My feelings about reading have not changed this year because I have always loved to read and still do. Books I have read this year that made me want to read more are the Republic Commando series by Karren Traviss. I like to read because books are like TV but better because you can take them in the car and on vacation.
I have never hated reading but I also never really liked reading either. But this year I discovered that with the right book, I love to read and I can't stop! Some of the best books I have read so far this year that I could not put down are:Chasing Yesterday series and Double Identity.
Sometimes if I don't find an awesome book then I just can't get into it and I have no choose but to get a new one and hope that that one is good. So far this year, that as never happened and I'm hoping it never will.
Since the beginning of the year my feelings have really changed a lot. At the beginning of the year I did not really like to read. I have read a lot of really good books since then like Last Shot by John Feinstein. All of the books that I have read this year has really helped me decide what books to read.
My reading opinion has changed a lot because the book I'm reading is very good.No one requested this book to me I read the blurp on the back of the book and it really got my attention.The book EGGS is about David going easter egg hunting and not finding a single egg.But then he noticed an egg in the grass and this big kid was blotting the sun and asked him where he found the egg he told him and told David to give him the egg because he said it was his.If you want to know more about EGGS you will have to read the book to fin out.
In the beginning of the year I hated reading. I thought reading is just dumb who reads. But you know what? Now I love reading. Yeah it might sound weird but, it was this one book that I read that made me change. The book that made me love reading is called: I Am The Wallpaper.
We'll if you don't like reading then maybe, you should try reading the book I Am The Wallpaper. Yeah it changed me but, it doesn't mean it wont change you too.
I didn't like to read at all. It was so hard for me to sit down and read just a few minutes but, the time in Language Arts we have for reading is changing my whole outlook.
I would get book recommendations but none of the books I read could keep me interested. Then I found a series that turn everything upside down. It was the Chasing Yesterday series. The description and the suspense pulled me in.
I try to read as much as I can now and I am just about finished with the last book!
This year reading has been better then most. The new book talks has helped me find a really interesting book. People recommended a book to me. I pick it up and I read the back of it and see if I like it. I found a book called Glory.Last year I hated reading and this your I am improving my reading.
Reading means a lot to me. Reading helps me learn new word that I did not know.My feelings for reading have changed this year because I am older and I want two read different kinds of books. I have read some books that make me want to read more. For example Vet volunteers. Its a series book. It makes me want to read more and to finish the series. That I am planing on doing here pretty soon. The video you showed us was awesome. It is so cool how they can do that.
