Once Upon A Time...

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by: John Archambault is one of my favorite childhood books. It is one of my favorites because the way it is written and rhyming of the letters and how every letter has its own personality. My dad would always read or tell me a story before bed(which I do really miss!!), and Chick Chicka Boom Boom was one that was recommended a lot. It is a book that I have memorized word by word because of how many times it was read to me.

I think that most teenagers of this generation do not like to read because the use of technology and what teenagers are just handed. Reading used to be a way to pass time and even enjoy, but now, it is just a burden to most teenagers to have to read. Personally I get tired when I have to read. I love getting lost in a good book, but I always get sleepy when I read. I do not like being forced to read a book, for example when my English teacher makes me read a book by a certain time and then write about it, I really don’t like that. But when I just want to read a book and enjoy it, I would not mind reading. I do read outside of school and do enjoy it. I don’t want to watch TV the whole time or be on the computer, I want to step away from technology once and a while and read a physical book, not one a machine or a tablet or on a Kindle. I think kids would need to be re-introduced to books. Maybe take some of the technology away. Have them read a book that they would be interested in.
