2.       Think about why we read.  Why do you think all kids are taught to read?  Why is it so important?  Write your answers in a complete sentence.

3.       When thinking about why we read/what we read, reading can be broken down into four distinct categories:

Academic:  This is about education.  Your teacher usually tells you to read these things.

Personal:  This is the reading you choose to do for your own enjoyment or personal growth.

Workplace:  This involves things you will have to read in order to hold/keep a job.

Functional:  This involves informational reading you do every single day.

Make a four column notes graphic organizer.  Head each column with the above four areas.  List examples under each category of things you could read/find under each category.  You must list at least 5 in each.
