Reading is important like if there was a emergency like a fire, you need to find the EXIT but you might not no were it is if you cant read the sing. Or if you drink/eat something and the expiration date has gone by you might get sick so you should make sure it is good to eat. Usually by 3rd grade to when you are a adult you love to read. so that is some reasons why reading is important.

It is important to learn to read so you could read directions to places and read asignments for school or signs like EXIT and ONE WAY when you are on the road!Its also important to read because it is fun with all the different ghanras like comics, fiction, fanticy, non-fiction, magizines. Also it feels like your in the bookwith the charicters

Reading is important because it teaches you how to put words together into sentences that make sense. You have to be able to read to basically do anything in your life. You have to be able to read to go to college and do almost any profession. Reading makes you think and feel the emotions of whats happening in a story. I love to read.

Learning how to read is important because if there was a research quiz and you wanted to use an encyclopedia you wouldn't know what is says.Also learning how to read is important because if you had to read directions for a homework you wouldn't know what it said.Also if you want to find a place in a map you wouldn't know that if the city you picked was the right city or not.Last if you want to make food and you were using a recipe you wouldn't know what the recipe says because you wouldn't know how to read.Now do you think leaning how to read is important?

Reading is important because if you couldn't you woudn't have as much fun in your life. You also couldn't in case of an emergency read signs. If you are allergic to something you should READ the ingr-
edeints. Those are some reasons why reading is important.

Reading is really important. You could read all the way to Portland. The more you turn, the more you learn. The better the literacy, the better reading sports magazines. The more you read, the better things you will learn and have fun.

Reading is so important because if you didn't know how to read then you don't know how to write,read informatoinal books,communicate with each other and read biogrophies.
You can't also type stuff on your laptop or computers.
Also you can't read or listen to instructions.
You won't know how to learn stuff you don't know.
But most of all you won't know how to raed your favorite books or books from your favorite authors!

Reading is important beacause if you dont know how to read alot of your school work would be harder even on math tests because you have to read directions to write the right answer, and its FUN to READ!!!! :)

It is important to read because you can have educational learning from books, and when you need directions to a place you have to be able to read. You can learn different languages like spanish, russian,japanese, chinese, and porteguese. You could be a all-time cook but you have to be able to read the instructions as well as the ingredients. That's why you should read.

It is important to learn how to read because if you were going to a friend's house and you and you couldn't read the directions you might get lost. It is important to learn how to read because you learn new things

Reading helps you get smart! It teaches you new words. You need to read to see what you will order at restaurants. If you have a spelling test you will know a lot of words. You will know the answers on a reading quiz. On math problems when you will be able to explain your answers. You will be able to read about sports you like to play and learn about the teams and players. Reading is also good just to enjoy a favorite book.

Braden said...

It's important to learn how to read beacause if you were on vacation and you were lost in a forest you wouldn't be able to read the map. Also if you ever wanted to get money from a job then you would have to learn how to read because almost every job involves math and almost all math involes reading. If you are going to the grocery store then you would never be able to read the signs or what exactly you're buying. If someone else went to the grocery store and bought something you've never tried before, then you would never be able to read the nutrition facts. You're not allergic to anything?! But still, Every subject in school involves reading so if I were you I'd hit the books!

It is very important to learn how to read because you can read directions. You can read newspaper articles and learn what's going on in the world.You can read maps and addresses so you will know how to get somewhere. Last, reading books is so fun!

Reading to some kids is boring. But it should not be boring. Most people think it is boring because they do not try hard enough. Once you get through the stage when you learn how to read it becomes more and more fun. Pretty soon you could be reading great series like ''Harry Potter'',''Percy Jackson and the Olympians'' and other great series. Thats why it is important to learn how to read.

Dear Kindergarten student,
I think that reading is important because it teaches kids skills. I think that Reading is really easy. Reading helps you learn about famous people and places. Reading is really fun especially if you read a series of books. I hope you like reading like I like reading.

Reading is important because you basically reading is every were! You can see it on road signs, at school, on directions when your learning how to put something together. On many things! You would usually learn how to read from 1st grade to 3rd grade are the grades that you would be getting better at reading, but when your in 4th and 5th grade you would be great at reading!Thats why reading is important!

LaurelB. said...

Dear kindergartener,
I would like to be your reading buddy and help you like to read. When I was your age I learned to read but it was hard because it was in 2 languages. Now I love to read, and you should too. Reading takes you inside the books and makes your imagination grow. You can even read on your computer or read to someone else. You will have a lot of answers and you can teach someone else to read too. :)

reading is important because it can make you smart and its also really fun.

Mia Y said...

Reading is important because when your in an emergency you need to read the instructions to know how to work something. You sometimes need to read notes that your mom or dad left you to tell you to do something important.

Jakob M said...

It is important to read so you can talk in silnce. And learn about stuff. And make it so you don't have to talk so much. And to do stuff easer. And to talk to people far away.

Andrew said...

Reading is important because it makes you smarter. Without reading we would be deprived of information we need on a daily basis. when you read you gain tools to use in life to make a better community. When tou take a test the ideal thing to do is study and don`t forget reading is studying. Reading is thinking so if you read you become a better thinker and more adept in many concepts, and to conclude my paragraph I would like remind the readers that without one there would be none.
