====Before: Before this unit I thought that I was an okay reader, I did not really read that much because I did not find it that interesting, going through this unit I never realized that I could grow as much as I could!====

====If I could scale my confidence on a one to ten I would say (before this unit) my confidence was about a 7.5 out of 10 The reason why I would give myself a score like this is because I never really read and I did not enjoy it.====

====Something that prevented me from reading was that I thought that I had to many sports to do or that school was taking up to much time, but then I realized that I had allot more time than I thought I did.====

====During: When I was doing this unit I realized that there are many things that distract a person while they are trying to focus,so I wanted to put it to the test. What I did is I read as many pages as I could until I got distracted, I did this multiple times to see what the average amount of pages I read. After I did that something in my head just "clicked" and I started to like reading, also during this unit I did all of my test and graded them too.====

====During this unit I also started to read more and more where I became almost attached to the book that I was reading! If I had to scale my reading on a one to ten I would probably say I am a 9 out of ten, I would say this because I have learned so many new strategies when it comes to reading and solving problems, now I feel very confident about my reading skills. Now I feel like I want to kick back and relax and read. Reading is so much more fun for me now, I enjoy it allot more than I did before because I am able to get through the problems with out feeling that I want to put the book down and do something else. The grade level of this book is a 6.1 I am very happy this is the grade level because I do not have a hard time reading it, so I know that I am able to read my grade level books.====





====After: After this unit I finally realized that reading can be fun and interesting, you just have to know how to work out problems. My study helped me so much because it showed me that different students use different strategies that help them when they are reading through a challenging passage. Looking at all that I did, I think that this unit it hanged a big part of my life because you use reading everyday. If my teachers did not ever think about having this unit I do not think I would be or have as much confidence as I do now and I think I have alot because if I had to scale My confidence on a one to a ten I would have to say It would Probably be a 9.5 out of ten because I have learned strategies, gained confidence and now I know how to back things up with evidence, the reason why I gave myself a 9.5 is because even though I am very confident there is stil always room to grow. My confidence from the beginning of this unit went up by 2.0 From a 7.5 to a 9.5 What I want to say is that I hope everybody an learn from this because I want everybody to be confident when they read because that impacts all of their grades and their future.====
