Through 8th Grade of J-Kiki

Keana:
The way I felt about reading in September was like reading is what ill do on my spare time. Now the way I feel about reading is that I like to read most of the time. It changed I think is because Mr.Locker has some books that is just so interesting sort of like a "page turner". Some books he has I couldn't put down most are:New Moon by Stephenie Meyer and White Is For Magic. The way I decide how to pick a book is by the cover. I know the saying "don't judge a book by its cover". But when i do those books are really interesting. I also read the blurs and I ask my friends who read the book if it's good.

Back in September to now how I changed in my reading was that in September i use to skim through the pages, I didn't make pictures in my head. Also I didn't ask myself questions in my mind. Like what's going to happen next. Now I know when to stop and think about what's going to happen next. I know how to make pictures in my head while reading my book. Also I know how to ask questions in my mind. Back in September I use to read slow, now I think I improved in my reading and took a step up on my reading level. I remember I read this book called "Forged by Fire". This book was really interesting because the book speaks about how a big brother and a little sister survive from their step father. Another book I read was this book called "Red Midnight" it was by Ben Mikaelsen. This book was so interesting. The book was about a boy that was eleven and a little girl that was five. They had to go to the United States Of America cause where they lived there war with the soldiers. This probably means that probably I could read faster then I use to back in September. I think as a reader I grew a lot. I accomplished my mission that my humanities teacher told me. Now in the last month of school I'm proud of myself for taking and doing all this. So that's how I grew during my year in the 8th grade.
