comprehending skills. Most people don’t know that there is a side to reading that is not always good. When a person becomes enthralled in a book and can’t put it down they start to let that effect their everyday life. I have read many book series from Harry Potter books to the Percy Jackson ones. I once considered myself an outstanding reader and was told this many times by my sixth-grade teacher. I have stopped reading books for fun as I got older.

When was the last time you picked up a children's book and actually read it? I am talking just reading it by yourself, not to a little kid. Sofia and Aalyah read two children books titled Horton Hatches the Egg by the famous Dr. Seuss himself, and Hairy Maclary's Showbusiness written by Lynley Dodd.
