Reflecting on Our Love/Hate Relationship with Media
I remember learning to read but that I was terribly shy and hated to read out loud. Why do we do that to our students? I guess it is just one strategy that has been overused in the past. As I grew up the most amazing love relationship grew between myself and novels. My grandma gave me the book series of Little House on the Prairie. I began to lose myself within their pages and escape the somewhat crazy home life I had. Since then I have always loved books where they can take you. I only hate it when I have found a wonderful book, that I can't put down until I have finished it- and then it ends.

I love Little House on the Prarie! Even the T.V series! I've reread the books many times as an adult. I've even visited many of the place Laura Ingalls lived. Pepin, Wisconsin (Little House in the Big Woods), I've wadded in Plum Creek in Walnut Grove Minnesota, went to the Ingalls museum in DeSmet South Dakota (On the Shores of Silver Lake). Just writing this is giving me the strong urge to read the books again. This is starting to feel like an obsession.
