My love of reading books from a very young age is what enabled me to have an accomplished level of literacy. I remember being in 1st Grade and really feeling a strong motivation to learn to read. I'm glad I stuck with it. Reading books allows you to go on adventures without having to leave the comfort of your bed! It also allows you to access tons of information that can improve your life and increase your income.
One of the reasons many people struggle with literacy today is because they were taught contextual reading, instead of phonics reading like I was taught in school. Also, many peoples' families move to America speaking a language other than English, and sometimes never fully learn English as well as their native language.
Don't give up or feel embarrassed. Take an ESL class, or a reading class. It's never too late, and you're worth it!
