Reading when I was a toddler

When I first started to read was when I was a toddler my grandma she taught me a few words and telling me to start sounding the words out breaking them down into syllables and that's when I started to read word from word then when I started going to school I already knew how to read my teacher was very proud of me when she knew that I already knew how to read I couldn't pronounce the large words so I sounded them out and I got the words correctly my teacher also taught me how to read with punctuation marks though she explained what each of them meant so when I read I will know what it meant when I come across one so now that I'm older I know what the punctuation marks means now.

My aunt also was teaching me every afternoon after school she would get a certain grade level book and she would tell me to sound the words out and I would say them and they would be correct I would also get a pencil and a piece of paper and write down all the words at least 3 to 5 times each maybe I will catch on to others when they speak to other people I would sound out the vowel sounds that helped me out a lot too.

I knew it would take time though just keep practicing practice makes perfect so I would practice every single day after school when I made it into the door I would put my backpack down and get out a book to read begin on the words sounding them out and get pencil and paper write them down every time I say them out loud my grandma would stand beside me and listen to me say them and write them down as I go. She said that I am getting better and better I was proud that she was proud of me I felt like I was achieving a huge goal I accomplished my goal too.

My teacher would see me enter the room each day and when I entered I would sit down and begin to read she would wink and smile at me then I would smile back at her with happiness I was so happy and joyful I didn’t know what to do but with huge words it would take time though I was good but not great I know it was ok though because my teacher told me I will get them someday I wrote the words down that I struggled with and say them 5 times each until I get them correctly then I finally got them.

I knew that it was easy as I became older I would think about the times then would I come across the word I would say to myself “I remember I was struggling with this word.” I would laugh because it was very hilarious to me but it was ok though. That’s how I began to read thanks to my family and teachers
