Reading Cheatin

Most of my kids hate to read .. the thing is they know and understands how the assignments goes but they just hate to read .. Why ? Because I am boring to them and also the books are boring .. hey I am never boring to my students , in fact , they love me to bits !!!!!!!!


Reading becomes bored to a child because the teacher does not cary out the lesson well and also it can be many things .. instead of blaming the teacher the whole time , kids also plays a role to this .. some of them comes from families who does not like to read , does not know how to read or some would say they have busy parents who are working 247 and that these parents have no time to read to them .


I remember when I was growing up , my mum would read to me and she would tell me stories and it got to a point that my sister and I not only thirst for reading , each year and every single day , we would beg our parents to buy us books to read .

My mum does not like me to read because ;

When I read I am in my own element ,
When I read I do not have to stop to drink , eat or pee.
When I read I do not have to have a daughter and mother conversations .
I only see books and not humans no matter how handsome the guy is !!!
When I read I forget everything .. that includes her and that is a no no !!


However , I do dream that some day I would own a little book store and you can find me in own little corner reading , reading and doing more reading ..

So what do I tell CCT ?

Well , tomorrow is another day so let's see if I can get her to read ......
