My First Book

 I read my first book when I was 2 1/2.  This was one of my favorite bedtime stories that my mother would read it to me over and over.  Finally because of my mother's repetition, I was able to read it "all my myself", as I would brag to anyone who would listen.  
 

Sesame Street

Sesame Street was first broadcast in November of 1969.  Even today the show continues to impact young children's education. Sesame Street was a big part of my childhood.  My mom didn't allow me to watch anything else on TV.  It is a wonderful program that teaches the basis of reading with the fun of the characters. 

 

  
 

Glenview Public Library

 The Library was a very important piece of my childhood.  Everyday my mom or dad, my sister and I would ride our bikes to the library. We would always check out the maximum number of books for the day and rush home to read them.  The Glenview Public Library had a summer reading program that my sister and I were involved in every year.  Each day I would read two books and I would have to give an oral report to one of the volunteers at the library.  After I gave my report I would get to play one of the games to hopefully win a prize.
