What Kind Of Reader Am I?
I'm what you would call a readaholic. I will read a book at any chance I get. I tend to read a little to fast when I really get lost in a book. Then I have to go back and re-read certain pages. When I first read that we had to pleasure read for a weekly class assignment and make a blog I thought "oh great". I have never done a blog or really discussed my pleasure reading in detail. At first I thought it was a hassle but now I feel grateful to have had this time to read, and really reflect on what I was reading. I loved having my reading time because if not for our required reading time I would not have had time to read. I'm very busy with all my courses and keeping up with family duties. If not for the weekly PRABES I would have put reading off and I would have missed out on all the great books that I discovered.
I have noticed a huge difference in my reading behavior. I have slowed down my reading speed by a great amount. The assignment really made me pay attention to my reading because I knew that I was required to write about it. I love that I can now read slower and take every page in. So in the end the PRABES for me was a great thing. It gave me a reason to read even though I was busy, and made me a better reader as well.
