Why do I read? I read because when I'm in a bad mood I read. When I'm sad I read. Or when you really like that book or you found this one part of this book you just want to keep going ti'll I stop. Then when I read an paragraph a quote even maybe a text you always feel something! The feelings I get when I read you will probably get. Like the feelings are Sad, Happy, Mad, and maybe you start to think about it. That's why I read !

I read because, I like to just get lost in another world. I like it because, I can sometimes relate. It takes me to far away places, and I guess just a fantasy land.
I like it because, it gets me thinking, I have to find some things out.I like life and death, or if this happens, then the world would be like this. I'm not going to lie, I always enjoy a little romance. I like how I can connect with all the characters. I read because it makes me happy, maybe even laugh at some of the funny things that happen. That's why I read.

I read for many reasons. Well I read to know what a word means or get information.I also read for fun just to keep me busy. I read to know what to do and to know where to go like a map. I am think I mostly read just for fun. I also read road signs well whoever is driving is the real person to read those. I read store and food names to know what the place is. I also read to entertain other people besides me. I read on a computer to know what to click on. I read to learn something. Well I really can't think of many reasons why I read. There is a lot of reasons to read though. I just keep thinking about what I do and how that relates to this. It is very important to read, there is words everywhere it is the best thing to talk to people with out saying any thing. Those are some of the reasons I read. I only read a book if I'm very interested in the book. Like for example if the book was some thing that I thinks fairly good I'll check it out in a heart beet. I love to get my hands on a really good book every once in a wile I try to find a book that has some kind of connection with me and my life. By the way great post Mattie.

I have a lot of reasons why I read, but one of them is because reading is like an adventure. An example is of a book the was like an adventure is "The Hunger Games" and it was an adventure because it really felt like you where in The Hunger Games. When I read it, it gave every little detail of The Hunger Games. I feel that when I am reading, I am in the book. That is one reason I read, but there is a lot more reasons why you need to read and one of the big reasons is because it is FUN.
Another reason I read is because when I have nothing to do there is always something, READING. So, when ever I get bored I read, but not just because i'm bored, it's because I feel like reading. Maybe you are reading, but you are just doing it because bored, well don't think of it like your just doing it, think of it like you are really in that book and that's why you are reading. Sometimes when I am going to basketball in Zanesville, I read.
That's why I read and just a tip, read because you want to,not just because you are bored. Take my tip because maybe sometimes you are in a situation you may need to read to thousands of people, that's why you need to read.

I read for entertainment. Reading helps me relax. I can't just sit and not have a book in my hands. I'm always reading things. I read on the bus in the car everywhere. If it's not a good book I abandon the book I don't waist my time on it. If I can't relate the character to me between the first two chapters normally that's not the book for me. Good books you can put your self as the character. I can sit and read a book for an hour or more if it's the kind of book that you can put you self as the character.
I'm always checking things on the internet and researching words I don't know the meaning to. If my parents or someone tells me a fraise that I don't know what it means I get on Google and look it up. I'm always looking up places to visit and reading about them. I'm also always looking up things that could happen to my Mom when she is going through Chemo. Reading is really enjoying. I love to read. I read all kinds of things to scary stuff to funny stuff.
Reading is amazing!
Good job Kaylee. I like how it is really long and how you gave many reasons why you read. Keep up the good work.

I read because I like finding information in books and I like finding weird things in books that you would not find in books. I read because I think books are very interesting also I read because I know a book won't be bad. I read because books are never boring and books are a great source of information. I also read because I love reading books I like reading funny books I like reading books with drama and I like reading horror books I love reading all of those types of books.

I read for many reasons.I read when I need to find some information on any topic. If I need to research I always grab my laptop or I grab a book. A lot of the time I read for fun. You can't get me to move when I'm reading a great book. One time I sat and read for almost four hours just because I wanted to.
One of my favorite things to read is the Bible. I try to read it every night but sometimes I'm really busy. I also love to read the Hunger Games, Goosebumps, Goddess Girls and all of the chicken soup books. My favorite magizene to read is national geographic. One of my favorite web pages to read and do research with is wickipida.

I read for a lot of reasons but mainly when I need to calm down or just relax. Because when I read especially when I am outside I feel so relaxed and like I have no worries in the world. I could just sit out there for hours and just keep reading and reading and nothing would matter!
Another reason I read is because you need reading for everything you do these days! You have to read for math, science, social studies, and language arts because how else can you do math problems and look up a definitions in social studies and science books? And how else can you look at maps in social studies? You have to read in every part of your life!

Why do I read? I read when I am a good mood or when I just want to read for fun. Some people read if they are told to I see some people read on the bus or when they are walking to a bus or a car. Then I am guessing that some people like read a lot. My sister reads like right after she does her homework and before supper and before she goes to bed. And me I read before bed and before it is supper time some times.

I read because I like to learn new things when I read. Like information new words like vocabulary the more I read the more information and vocabulary I learn. If I read the paper I can check out who one the the football and baseball games reading the paper or anything can give a lot of stuff that happened over the week. If you offer or tell me this is a good book I will probably check it out.
One easy spot to get information is the internet or Google. Google can spread or give a lot of information whatever you search it will come up I am constantly on Google looking up information about say if I learn a new word and i didn't understand it I would go to Google and look up the definition of that word.
A good book is a book filled with action and adventure I really like the part in the book where you just cant stop reading the books I really don't like is the non action books where there is action and adventure

I love reading!!! The reason I love to read or why I read is because I like to explore and read about different stuff. Reading is a part of me because when I get into a book I feel like I`ve been captured into that book and I`m the character that I was reading about. When I have been reading or have just picked up a book I can`t put it down. I just feel like that addicted to my book and that`s fun just to sit down with a good book When I read know it is like I`m a whole new person I get it! Mr. McGuire has opened doors for me in reading , He`s had me read some books I thought I would hate but it turned out I loved them. I read more than I watch T.V. In second grade I used to hate reading it was something I was just not good at and it wasn`t fun to not get why everybody had liked reading way more than me, I just didn`t get. Since fifth grade I`ve hated reading until now. Thanks for showing me how good books can be and why they can be good. Your Student, Sydney

I read for many reasons. I read to entertain myself when I got nothing else to do. I read to find out information on a person, place, or thing. I read to find fact about thing's for some research if I need to. When I'm into something good that I'm reading I don't to quit reading till I comprehend what I'm reading or till I want to stop.
When I'm reading for entertainment I normally read for at least 15 minutes. I can read up to about 2 hours if I'm really into what I'm reading. Also when I read for entertainment I can image whats happening at that part of the book. When I read and I image what's going on I get lost into the book. I just enjoy reading all sorts of genres of books.

I read because I love the fun things like in Shredderman Attack of the tagger when Nolan's dad reads shredderman.com jokes link. One of the jokes said " What do you call a bully on fire? A Bubba-Que.". And " Why run form a bully? He's got the Bub-onic plague.". That is a fun book.
I love the fantasy series Harry Potter. In year one of Harry Potter, Harry and his friend's Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Neville longbottom to duel Draco Malfoy in the trophy room but... it was a trap the caretaker Filch and his cat Mrs.Norris. They barely made it back to their common room. Professor Snape hates Harry Potter but why? Did Harry's dad save snape or play a trick on snape? Read book 3 to find out.

Why do I read? I read for several different reasons and one is to learn harder words. While i'm reading I get words that I don't understand and I take those harder words and ask someone or look it up in a dictionary and that's how I learn new words. Another reason that I read is to learn how to read and understand which is also called comprehend. While I'm reading I need to be able to understand whats going on or else I should probably get a new book. Another reason that I read is to relax. When I read I like to sit in a quite room and get in a comfortably position. I take one deep breath and start to relax and that helps me enjoy my book much better than being in a loud room in a hard chair. While I'm reading I feel like I'm in the book, with the characters and that really helps to understand and love the book. When I have a good book or I'm in a good spot in the book I never want to stop reading. I also read for entertainment. When I'm bored I just grab my book and read and I don't feel bored anymore. Reading releases the mind and relieves boredom.
It is really good to read because you learn and it's just fun! I also read to get a good grade but that's not hard because I love reading! It is really important that you have a good book that you like so you can enjoy reading and you don't fake read. Reading is really fun and I really enjoy it! My book is really good so I don't mind reading at all! I feel like everyone should read!

I read because it is so much fun! I read all the time. I read at night, at school, during the time I have to wait for my brother to get out of school, and also in the car. I read a lot. I've read for three hours straight at least twice. It is a good thing to do when you have nothing else to do and your REALLY BORED!
Reading takes me to a whole new world. I can go anywhere I want. I can be in the middle of a crime scene or on Mount Everest. I can be with the characters. I can do whatever I want when I'm reading.
Reading is good for you too! It helps you learn new words, and about different people. You can have so much fun reading. That is why I read!
