Week 1

What is your favorite thing about reading? 

In the comments below, write what your favorite thing about reading is.  

Sample Response: My favorite thing about reading is going on a new adventure with each book.  I love getting to put myself in the book and imagine that I am the main character facing different obstacles.  This means that when I finish a book, I am always a bit sad that I have to leave my characters and my story, but I know it also means that a new adventure awaits.

  1. My favorite thing about reading is the adventure that the main character faces with the secondary characters. Also the sires that I am reading once I finish a book theirs another one until you reach the last book. Then you can read the movies

      I also enjoy the adventure that you can go one with a character when reading a book. You make a great point that reading a series of books allows you to keep going with the adventure. Thanks for sharing your thinking. :)

  2. My favorite thing about reading is when you have to stop reading for some reason and you cant wait to find out what will happen next. For example once I was reading before bed and I was at a part in my book when something really exciting is about to happen but then my mom came into my room and said I had to go to bed. I was sad but excited to keep reading in the morning.

      I agree that there is always a certain excitement in having to put down a book and knowing you will get to come back to it. I feel the same way when I read. I'm glad you also shared an example of what you meant to help us understand. Thank you for sharing your thinking. :)

  3. My favorite thing about reading is when I see something funny and when the book makes me laugh. I think this because funny books are more interesting for me like diary of a wimpy or other funny books. Something I do when the book is funny is I show it to my friends

  5. I love reading because I am passionate about it. I read about 2 hours each day.
    My favorite thing about reading is that I discover more adventures in each book.
    Such as Mysteries and Magic. Once I start reading a new book I am glued to it.
    Like if I am reading a book and my teacher wants us to stop reading I can't because it is better than I thought. My favorite series is by Wendy Mass. 11 Birthdays, Finally, 13 Gifts, The Last Present, and Graceful. I recommend it. Hopefully you will find it as a good story!!!! Happy Reading!

      I also enjoy reading realistic fiction books. I agree that they are the easiest ones to connect with and place yourself in. When I am reading, I always try to picture the main character in my mind. I use some details from the book and add those to my background knowledge to paint a mental picture. Thanks for sharing your thinking. :)

  27. I am reading The Great Ball of Light by Evan Kohlman. The book is about two twins who find a ball of light in the middle of their yard. The setting in this book is at a farm. I like this book because I like what it is about, and I like how the author makes this book descriptive, which makes it really long.
