In-School Reading Vs. Out-of-School Reading

Some of you may agree or disagree with me on this topic because I would rather read out-of-school than in-school. I’m the type of person that has to have the area completely quiet. I don’t like any distractions while reading because I won’t remember what I read. I tend to misread the words where there is commotion going on around me. My room is the best area for me to read because it is away from everyone else and no distractions. Whereas reading in-school is more complicated because the teacher may assign us to read an about of pages in class and I won’t even get it read on time, because I can’t concentrate like I do out- of -school. I don’t really have a problem with reading out loud in class; it’s just getting the reading done in class. People may like in-school reading more because they would rather get the reading done in class than out. I’m the total opposite, I’d rather read out-of- class because it’s easier to understand. The only in-school reading I can handle is when the teacher is reading something out-loud, I follow in the book with them, and comprehend it. Other than that, I dislike in-school reading. Having your reading being timed is crazy, because nobody should be pushed while they read. You need to understand the reading as much as possible and be able to explain what you read afterwards. If I don’t understand the reading, there is no way of getting the point of the story. That’s why I would rather read out-of-school than in-school because of less distractions, it’s easier to understand, and not timed.

  1. I believe this, Bri. It's almost impossible to minimize distractions at school. Can you find a quit spot on campus? Why don't you try to Studio? Do headphones work?
