When I was little, my brothers and sisters and I used to pile onto the couch with my dad in the middle, and he would either read us a story or make up one out of his head. We used to love to do this, and now, when he does it with my younger brothers and sisters I still like to listen sometimes. Since I was read to a lot, and in my younger elementary years, I was a good reader and read a lot of books, I LOVE to read now! I always have my nose stuck in a book, even if it is a book that I've read a million times before.
My favorite stories when I was in 2nd and 3rd grade were Junie B. Jones and things like that. But now, my favorites are the Harry Potter books, the Goose Girl series, and the Anne of Green Gables series. I think that it is very important that little kids are read to so that they can develop a love for reading when they are young, because then when they get older, they will be really smart and always have something to do- read!
