My literacy by Mr.Khan

I do not recall my parents or anybody in my family reading to me during my childhood. :( This stems from the fact that my parents had to work a lot back then. Despite this I could read very well by first grade, but I was more interested in making Lego buildings then reading. I first gained an interest in reading when I was in second grade. My second grade teacher Mrs. Carl encouraged me to read books, such as Dinosaurs Before Dark and Little Bear. These books lead to more books and pretty soon I was taking home five books per week from the local library. During this time I realized that the books I liked the best were non fiction books set into the future or the ancient world. These books fascinated me and stretched my imagination to the limit in way that I never could have thought possible. This is what lead to my discovery of the value of reading and I now love reading a wide variety of materials (excluding the AP. U.S. textbook).
