Shitty First Draft:
I cannot remember the first time I learned to read or write, but I really wish I could. I don’t know if it just happened or if I learned a neat way. What I do remember are different things that helped me out along the way.
I remember in I think 3rd grade, we had a spelling test and we had to spell the different types of words. Like for example: two, to, and too. The trouble I had was with “there”. I remember I took the test at least three times because I couldn’t spell and didn’t know the difference between there and their. After I did learn it, I don't think I’ve made the mistake more than a couple times.
Another thing I remember real good is the vocabulary books we had in 8th grade. These books were little and orange and had all kinds of different tasks in them. Each chapter had 3 sections. The first was writing the definitions, second was matching them to an example, and last was filling in the blank. At the time I hated them very much. Looking back, I realized that they help me tremendously. I learned different words and there meanings. Also learned new study strategies. I am really glad I took that class now.
