Hi I work for Shasta Community Department at We-Care-alot Foundation. I want to talk about how important reading is. I know there;s lots of people out there who does not like to read. Reading gives you the skills How to speak in your language or other languages and it also gives you a large vocabulary of words to write and pronounce. It will give you the tools to have a conversation with people and how to start a conversation. There is lots of jobs out there that required you to have the ablilty to read. With me it was hard for me to read. So one of my favorite things to do was watching the weather on the news. So I picked up a newspaper and I started to read the weather section. After that I started to read more things like books, letters and it lead me to other things like writing.
