The biggest reason I read is because I can't not read. It is totally impossible. Books, magazines, newspapers, and online more and more, but I never stop reading. Sometimes it is because I want to know. Other times I am curious. I read the paper every morning with breakfast just to see what is going on in the world.
Reading for enjoyment and entertainment started in fifth grade. I have been hooked on books ever since. Traveling away into a story in another place, as a different person, in a different time keeps me reading. I love to live out the story in my mind.
As a teacher, I read to learn. Every day there are ideas from other teachers, and reading about them makes me think about Reading Workshop and how I teach. It is the main tool I use to improve and grow.
Take a look at these people and consider how they compare to you and why you read.
