When I first came to middle school I really didn't think of reading as part of my life and I really didn't like it. Before on my free time I wouldn't think of reading but now on my free time thats all I do. In the 7th grade when I first came by the end of the year I read less than 11 book then way I felt about reading in the begging of the 8th was pour because I would think that it was going to be the same way as 7th grade. By the time I came in September they told me I had to make different reading goals for my self and I had to read at least 50 books by the end of the school year. When I started reading I read small books I read so many I started to notice that they were to easy and were not on my level. So I started to read bigger and harder books and they where to hard for me so I started to use Mr locker stragies. One stragie that I really like is to try to relate to the main character.
I started reading books that were bast on life and what teens go through. there was one boo
k that really inspired me and it was called A CHILD CALLED IT. BY DAVE PELZER.This inspired me alot because it talked about a boy who was abused by his mom that was based on a true so this made me read books that were on true storys. So this made me read books that were based on true storys. Another book I read was "what my girlfriend doesn't know" by sonya sones one stragety I used was that when I read I put an image in my mind to really understand the book and know what its really talking about.

These are both awesome books, two of my favorites! What are you reading now?
My students love memoirs too. If it helps you at all over the summer, I found similar books to "A Child Called it" in the "Abuse" section of Barnes and Noble. That section has other real life stories by people who were abused. Thanks for sharing your reading journey, Victor.
Best,
