The Wizard of Oz
One of my first reading experiences was reading so0me of the Wizard of Oz series by Frank L. Baum. I can remeber being extremely excited every time we would read a new chapter. This has been a family tradition. These book were read to my father by his father and then were read to me. They are still in our possession and I fully plan on sharing these stories with my children. I can remember as a young girl being extremely excited everytime we were about to read a new chapter. I would follow along with my father and everytime we would come to the word oz I would read the word. This forced me to pay attention and to recognize certain words and to become a better reader. Also through this experience I was able to spend quality time with my father. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with their reading? Also I was wondering if anyone else has a book that has been passed down in thier family and what it was?

I remember my mom reading to me every day, even at just a couple years old. She was always collecting stories, or we would go to the library to take out books. I remember trying to read to her, which was really me telling a story I have already heard by looking at the pictures. I learned to love books at a very young age, and I can only wish I had more time to be able to read books for my enjoyment, instead of just because they are required. Over the past few years, we have had to clean the house and pack some things away. Unfortunately, our book collection could not stay out any longer. We made sure to keep the collection, I just do not have easy access to any of them. My mom always wanted to keep any and all books so that someday, I can read them to my children...or students!
