Literacy Timeline

First Word:  Mom                               Theme: Books and Reading(Pictures)

Favorite Book that my mom read to me:  “Goodnight Moon”

Around the age of 4 I liked to draw characters from the books that my mom read to me

Around age 6 I used to love watching the Jack Hannah TV show, which was about animals and marine wildlife.  I used to beg my mom to by me the National Geographic magazines. From there I used to be obsessed with sharks and fish, and I would memorize the names of them from TV and pictures in books

I started listening to music on the long car rides (Music had a rhythm that was sort of like reading, having a fluent reading basis)

Learning how to type and using computers really influence spelling

Weekly spelling tests in school

Reading the Matt Christopher books and American Chillers books during elementary school

My friend and I used to read together for school and for the group projects we did in school

I was really intrigued by music in my middle school years, because it was easy to relate to the lyrics of a song to my thoughts and emotions at the time.

Now I am still into music and some occasional reading here and there depending on the topic.

I like reading sports stories or sports news articles now

I look forward to using my literacy skills that all of these things helped me with, to my future career goal at being an evidence technician.
