He that loves a book will never want a faithful friend,
a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter.
By study, by reading, by thinking, one may innocently
divert and pleasantly entertain himself,
as in all weathers, as in all fortunes.
Barrow
This quote reflects my sentiments and I would very well like each individual to experience these feelings. Reading should be such an integral part of each person's life but as a teacher at a school that comprises of students that have major issues with reading it is heart wrenching to see students not even being able to decipher words that grade one students ought to know on sight. Therefore, I am willing to try all that is necessary to ensure that these students be given the opportunity to experience the pleasures of reading.
