Outside Reading

This year, I think as a reader, I challenged myself to read books that I probably wouldn't have read before. Such as the book I'm reading now which is The Lightning Thief. The books that I am most interested in are realistic fiction.

I always have thought of myself as a good reader. I am able to read a large amount of pages in a short amount of time, and comprehend what is going on and what will probably happen. Although, this year, I didn't read as many books as I wanted to.

When we were talking about literary elements, and things like "Reading Like a Reader", I had connected it to how I read. It made me think about how I should analyze a story the next time I read one. It made me think deeper about my reading.

In the future, by next year, I want to read at least 7 books. That is one of my reading goals I will set for myself.

Book: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

Reading Times:

5/3 - 50 minutes - 43 pages

5/4 - 50 minutes - 49 pages

5/5 - 50 minutes - 51 pages
