Bettines+F+Letter

Dear Classmates, How are you doing? Has someone ever told you how awesome reading and writing is. Well I think reading and writing is really fun. I think it is also really wonderful that we can type a bout our reading and writing experience and I hope you like the letter I wrote. Do you read a lot of books? I read a ton of books, which is awesome because reading is fun. When you read books you learn a lot of new words. But most of all, I like books because the stories create wonderful pictures in your head. It’s also fun because you get inspired by stories that might be true and might not be true. I like reading books on my own and outside of school. I can read on my beanbag or my couch, but sometimes I read in the car which is fun too. This summer I read over 1000 pages in one month. Mostly I read scary stories, but any book is fine, except for animal books, which I think are boring. My favorite book is // Red Kayak // by Priscilla Cummings, which was on the reading list this summer. My favorite series are from // Crispin // written by Avi. The first // Crispin // book is a Newberry Medal book called // Crispin the Cross of Lead //. I read the first // Crispin // book for a book report I had to do. When I go to a book store or a library, I almost always find a book that sounds good. When I was at the book store a couple of days ago, I chose a new book and I read it in about a day. I really like reading, but what is also fun is writing. Writing is really fun, but it is also hard, like when you have to add similes and metaphors. I like writing stories. I had to write lots of stories like about a Vampire or a Zoo, and I learned that every book and story has a beginning, a middle that is supposed to be interesting, and an end. Once I had to write four book reports, which was really fun because I got to type them on the computer and then read them to the class. The only thing I do not like writing is a spelling test, although I am pretty good at them. I used to have a spelling test every week, so I had to learn twenty five words at home for my spelling test. I have not had any of those, which makes me really happy. Sometimes I write stories at home when I am bored. I have started writing a book about a girl named Clara who has a huge dream when she grows up. Some people like writing and some people like reading. I really like both, but if I had to choose I think I would like reading better. I hope you enjoyed my letter as much as I enjoyed writing it.
