I had a lot of reading problems growing up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.
I was a terrible reader as a kid. I mean terrible. Super slow and very unfocused. It took me forever to read a book, and I remember being well into high school and still needing my mom to sit down and read aloud to me so I could pass my English tests and such.
I didn't learn how to read until I was at the end of fifth grade and 11 years old and held back.
I wasn't a very good student in elementary school and had a hard time with reading and writing.
Of course, I've always read. I started when I was four years old and just didn't stop. I read all the time.
I remember failing reading in school at a young age, and you just kinda get left behind and I felt helpless.
I was always a big reader, mostly because my parents were.
I wasn't really comfortable reading until I was 12.
I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.
I grew up in a home where reading was a big deal.
