Throughout my childhood, the idea of ​​having a college education was heavily emphasized. Consequently, it was my duty, as the child of the next generation, to excel in my studies and achieve a life of prosperity and success. Learning became the fundamental foundation of my growth. Thus, my youth was overtaken by many hours spent reading and writing what was known to be correct “standard” English. At first I found this to be a major flaw, but as I grew older I began to realize the many benefits gained from being literate. During my teenage years, I began reading and writing through a foundational learning program called “Hooked on.” Phonics." This program consisted of long hours spent reading short novels and writing elementary sentences that were commonly taught in second and third grade. With the motto "Improve your child's reading and writing skills in just four weeks!" I was destined to become the next Mark Twain. The method of this course specializes in improving word acquisition speed and reading speed; however, it was instilled in me in the area of ​​instructional comprehension I am highly educated, and while I may not have had a fun and adventurous childhood like many other children, I am grateful to have grown up with more knowledge and wisdom than is ingrained in many. From my past experiences, I have learned to prefer reading to writing. When I read, I can visualize the text in the way I see fit. It's almost as if I were rewriting the novel using the illusions I hear expressed in the words of a passage. For example, in the current standalone novel I'm reading, she portrays a woman of tall stature who is able to attract... middle of paper... that kind of reaction to reading. Finally, I can read at my own pace. I have no obligation to read quickly to appear to have no complications with the words of the text. In my opinion, people should have the right to speak and read in any language they want. While it may be helpful to be informed about the speech that is taught and spoken in the common country, everyone has their own cultural background and everyone has the right to be literate in the way they want. They have obtained the right to free speech through the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights and therefore have the right to speak in their native language. Literacy plays an important role in the lives of human beings today. It gives us the power to read, speak and write and is therefore a valuable resource for society and the development of its economy.
