Reading is hard. At least those are the words we constantly hear. Yes reading is hard but it doesn't have to be. I love to read, but only those books that interest me. There are people who legitimately struggle to read, even books on topics that are interesting to them, why... I think it goes back to how they were taught to read.
Many times in school we HAVE to read. It is a requirement in every subject but sometime the words are hard and those who struggle don't get the help they need so then what... they give up. They shut down and quit. These students go on to become adults that also do not read. Our minds need text, even just a little every now and then, so to have people who can't or don't want to because it is difficult to read just saddens me.
As a teacher I hope that I can make reading enjoyable for my students instead of just a drudge. I hope they can create the pictures of the story in their minds and let it transport them to places they didn't even know they could go. I hope that the students I inspire not only enjoy reading in my class but also take it with them for the rest of their life and find that enjoyment continuously.
