(My ideal reading space) My favourite book My favourite book is Diary of a wimpy kid, because it is not very hard to understand, funny, and encourages young people to read.

How often do you read? I read every day, if I have the time, because I find it easier to forget about all the stressful things that are happening in my life and makes me feel like I am drifting into another world.

What do you enjoy reading? I enjoy reading books regarding fantasy because it makes me feel like I am in another world when I am reading. I am the sort of person who likes to dream.

Where do you like to read? I like to read in places that are quiet and places that I feel comfortable in….like my room! There is hardly any noise there because my brother is usually outside, in the living room or in his own room. Unless my father is outside vacuuming or mowing the lawn, I enjoy staying in my room to read and do different things.

Strategies I use when meaning breaks down. CHECKING DICTIONARY/GLOSSARY Checking the dictionary takes up quiet alot of time, because I have to walk all the way to my room and flip to the page where the word is listed on. However, using the glossary is faster, because the glossary is all the way at the back of the book. Unless the word is listed on the glossary, I would have no choice but to use the dictionary. ASKING AN ADULT Asking an adult is way faster than checking the dictionary and glossary, because it is more direct, and if the person I am asking knows the answer, I could get the meaning in a minute. RE-READING Re-reading helps because it can help me remember things better. It could also clue me in to what is happening in the story if I get confused. All of these methods work for me because I have used them before, if it does not suite you...then you would have to ask someone else for advice! :) What does my inner voice say when I read? Normally, my inner voice says, "focus...focus!!" because, I get distracted VERY easily. All it takes is for someone to talk to me and that is it. I've completely lost my concentration and then, I forget where I read up to.
 * 1) I check the dictionary or the glossary
 * 2) I ask my parents for help
 * 3) I ask the teacher for help
 * 4) I would re-read the sentence

What inner conversations do you have while reading? My inner voice tells me to focus, but sometimes, I shut it away because I cannot concentrate when something is talking to me in my head. Difficulties I face. When people are making a racket, I tend to lose concentration very easily. All it takes is for me to lose m concentration, and my mind goes blank and I end up having to re-read everything which is very annoying and frustrating.

As I have written above, the stratergies I use are mainly asking an adult and checking the dictionary. If of those work, try searching the word up on the internet. I don't know if my stratergies work for you, but they sure work for me!

TIPS When you read, the best place to be is your room or somewhere quiet...a place that you feel comfortable in. Feeling comfortable is the most important thing. Secondly, you should make sure that the room should have sufficient sunlight or light. It has to be bright enough for you because it would spoil your eyesight to read in the dark. Most importantly, make sure that you actually understand what you are reading.

I have learnt many things about reading this semester. For one, I know that reading can let you gain more knowledge! I really hope that my advice helped and don't get distracted while reading!
