If We Finished Our Work, The Teacher

Don't Stop Now. Go Ahead! Be Readers All Of Your Lives. And Don't Forget, Librarians And Teachers Can Help You Find The Right Books To Read.

One Rainy Sunday When I Was In The Third Grade, I Picked Up A Book To Look At The Pictures And Discovered That Even Though I Did Not Want To, I Was Reading. I Have Been A Reader Ever Since.

When I Was In The First Grade I Was Afraid Of The Teacher And Had A Miserable Time In The Reading Circle, A Difficulty That Was Overcome By The Loving Patience Of My Second Grade Teacher. Even Though I Could Read, I Refused To Do So.

He Was Dressed As If Everything He Wore Had Come From Different Stores Or From A Rummage Sale, Except That The Crease In His Trousers Was Sharp And His Shoes Were Shined.

If We Finished Our Work, The Teacher Would Say, 'now Don't Read Ahead.' But Sometimes I Hid The Book I Was Reading Behind My Geography Book And Did Read Ahead. You Can Hide A Lot Behind A Geography Book.
