Reading history


Reading History –

The purpose of this assignment is for me to get to know you a little better, and for me to know your reading history. You can either answer the questions or create a PowerPoint or Prezi, or do anything else creative.  

 

  1. In general, do you like reading? Why or why not?
  2. Do you feel like reading is “too hard?” If so, what’s hard about it?
  3. What do you do when you don’t understand something you read?
  4. Has anyone ever tried to teach you a “reading strategy?” If so, what strategies do you know?
  5. How did you do in your English/Language Arts class last year? Did you do well? Why or why not? 
  6. What is the last book you read from front to back?
  7. In the last year, how often have you gone inside a library or bookstore, for whatever reason?
  8. What are 3 reasons people read?
  9. Have you ever read to learn how to do something?
  10. What’s the difference between fiction and non-fiction?  
  11. Do you read magazines or newspapers? Which ones?  
  12. Do you read stuff on the Internet, like soccer sites, or ESPN.com? What? 
  13. Do you read anything for fun? Comic books/anime/that kind of thing?
  14. Are there people in your family who read a lot? Who? What do they read?  
  15. Did you read a lot when you were younger, and then you stopped? What happened?
  16. What kinds of things do you remember reading when you were a kid?
  17. Did someone read to you when you were little? What do you remember about that?
  18. What is a good memory you have of reading? (for example, your mom reading to you when you were younger before you went to bed)
  19. What is a bad memory you have of reading? (for example, being put on the spot to read in front of a class and you failed)
