Learning to read, SO long ago.

I feel a little old when I think back to how I learned to read. It feels like it was so long ago. It is hard for me remember exactly how I learned to read. However, I remember learning site words and working with my teacher and my mother with those words. I remember reading at night with my mom. I also remember, the program Accelerated Reader. I think the computer program "Reader Rabbit" was a big hit when I was learning to read. When I was in first grade I remember having weekly spelling list which consisted of about 5 words. I think learning this new vocabulary every week helped me learn to read. Reading Rainbow was a big hit in elem. school. Although, I do not remember exactly how I learned to read I do have many different memories about language which I have mentioned. I hope to have a big impact on future readers on America:)!
