Connections through reading

My name is Brittany Rosell and I am attending the Math Specialist program at NCSU. I went to undergrad at Elon University.

In elementary school, I loved reading! I used to read whenever and wherever I could. My parents and siblings used to read to me all the time and I remember taking frequent trips to the library with my mom. Once middle school hit and the comprehension got harder for me, I didn’t enjoy reading as much. My favorite book growing up was Shiloh, written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. I chose this book originally because it had a dog on the cover, but ended up loving it! I was able to make a connection because I had a dog growing up and at the time, I was about the same age as the boy in the book. Another favorite book of mine was Matilda, written by Roald Dahl. I enjoyed reading this book because her magic always made me laugh and I was amazed by how smart she was! Also, I thought Miss Honey was the biggest sweetheart and I wanted to have her as a teacher! I still enjoy reading this book and watching the movie as well.
