Literacy Narrative
My literacy narrative narrates a specific event and person that influenced my literacy development. This assignment allowed me to explore a specific type of literacy that played a factor in my life and how it influences me today. Among being one of the most important abilities of a human being, literacy is also the most rewarding thing to be able to read, write and communicate.
When I was in first grade my mom introduced me to a book called, “The Lovables, in the Kingdom of Self-Esteem” by Diane Loomans. This book, not only inspired my literacy development, it gave me the self-esteem that I was able to be a strong and literate person. After hearing, for my first years of schooling, that I wasn’t very literate from teachers and even my peers who would mock and ridicule my lack of literacy, poetry significantly influenced my literacy development as a child and continues to today. My narrative explores my development thereafter, though 5th grade when I got involved in poetry projects with 4-H, then after high school when I worked as a Head-Start Teacher, to today as a senior in college.
