After being exposed to English and communication skills since birth, Kyle learned to read at the age of 6. Personally, Kyle believes that language is the most important aspect of living things and that language has been integrated into all species from the beginning of time. Language, in a sense, is defined by the way things interact with the world. Bacteria have language; humans have language; dogs have language. Since Kyle was born into a world in the 20th century, he has had the pleasure of learning a very intricate language: English. After birth, Kyle lived in a community that used English as its primary and only language; therefore, he learned it fairly quickly. As Kyle grew and developed, he learned, similar to anyone, how he is able to gain new interpretations and insight of individuals and times that were unknown otherwise --- reading. Although reading books is commonly thought of as the most important form of reading in general, many forget that we interpret these symbols of English all around us in almost any environment (web, classroom, smart phones, communities, television, notes from parents etc.), which provide us with the basis of our lives. In terms of what is in the parenthesis above, people read because they have to! Words and texts are an extremely important symbols in modern day life, and with them, our chances of survival on earth increase. People read in any instance to grasp a stronger understanding of knowledge on a particular field or study. For example, if Kyle wants to go to McDonalds, he will read a billboard to tell him the special meals he can by, or if he wants to learn about how society works, he will read a book on behavioral economics of psychology. What makes reading easy for Kyle is that, In addition to the necessary, Kyle reads as many books (non-fiction/literature) in his free time as can. With time, he's noticed a solid improvement in his ability to understand books as a whole or certain sentence or word meaning. The hardest part about reading for Kyle is switching between syntax styles of literature authors. He has a very hard time getting in to books, and hopes that he can work on that skill this year. To pick out a good book, Kyle used to choose some of his most intelligent friends (subjectively) and ask them to give him book recommendations. After this went on for about a year, Kyle began to explore further into the authors of which his friends told him about, so he no longer needed their recommendations. In a book, Kyle loves intricate vocabulary. He likes to read a story that causes him to use critical and abstract thinking within the reading. At home, Kyle reads one book a week, two if he's lucky. In general, Kyle thinks that reading is in the top three essential skills of life and is excited to further develop this skill throughout the rest of his life.
