R - Reading, Learning to

Reading, Learning to: Event

I learned to read just before I started Kindergarten. The first book I read all the way through on my own was "Monsters Come in Many Colors." It was a small square Sesame Street book with a beige cover. The monsters went to a factory, beige, and got painted by a machine.

I remember being sad about learning to read because I was sure that no one would ever read to me again now that I could do it myself. My parents did the you-read-a-page/I-read-a-page thing for awhile.
