· Stopped receiving help and AIS in reading, however still needed it.
· Forced to read books that I didn’t like or lacked a connection
· Fun leisure reading became history
· My struggle in writing became more and more evident, yet I was not receiving any help or extra assistance from my teachers
· Spelling Tests turned in memorization
· Lack of help from teachers, made me begin to really hate school and all parts because it turned all literacy based which was such a stuggle for me. I felt like no one could relate because all my friends were “smart” and loved reading.
My start of comprehension began to go down because the books became too hard for me to read and affected me in my secondary education as well

· No personal reading
· Only pleasure reading was done was celebrity magazines
· Forced to continue to reading books that I really didn’t enjoy. A maximum of three books I probably enjoyed (see books worth remembering)
· Read to complete homework by finding/skimming for the answers
· Attitude toward reading is still negative. I just didn’t enjoy it
· I could not get into any books really; I felt they turned reading into a chore and not pleasurable. Only thing motivating me was good grade.
· Poetery became popular which I hated because I never comprehended it and it was my fault and I would get yelled at “Why don’t you get it Brittany?”
· Vocabulary tests turned into memorization
· “Sparknotes” became my best friend – anything to avoid reading because I never liked it therefore I never comprehended so I felt like it was a waste on time.
I only came to school to socialize, hated literacy parts because it was not interesting or fun to me anymore. I wanted to go back to reading as a kid

· Never had time to leisure read, only in summer
· During school, my pleasure literacy was done computer based.
· Not till last summer when my love for reading began.
· My taste in books went to biography/autobiography. Some my books were spin offs from television shows.
· College Education Courses really made me dive into what literacy is all about and made me evaluate why I hated reading for so long. Blame the teachers? Yes I do! (being honest)
· Since graduation in May, I have read five books
· I tend to read during stressful times to escape reality and during breaks when I am not swamped with homework, sort of sad if you think about it.
