How I Learned To Read..

I  learned how to read just like everyone else. but i guess i had a little more help than others. that's probably the reason I'm so good at reading. I guess it started off between the ages of 2-4 . those ages i attended pre-school. pre-school was before you started kindergarten.
          My Pre-school teacher helped me learn my Abc's. We always use yo go over five words a day. then every two days we wold go over the ten words we learned. it was very effective.then after we  learned all the aplabete the teacher began teaching us how to spell our names. she sunt home me things to trace over my name with.
         I also remember my sister used to come home and read me books everynight before i go went to bed. The books were really colorful and nice. i was really ensurged in them. I would pick up and look at the pictures. But i never Knew what any of the words on the page said. I wanted to learn how to read but i was just to lazy to learn right then and there..
        But a few months Later i began Kindergarten. I knew my Abc's.But the kids that did not attend Pre-School did not learn thiers. So i had to sit in class and watch them learn thiers. it was so borning. i use to do bad stuff becaues i was bored. they paddled me time after time again.But they came to relize i was bored becaues i was Knew My Abc's already. so they gave me toys during that time.
        So the kids finaly leaned the Abc's. so we could move on. the next thing we had to learn was sounding out our letters.we was doing the same process we did in pre-school. we would sound out five words a day.then every two days we go over those ten words we learned.so after i learned the sounds of all my letters. it wasnt long after i started sounding out words.I countied to sound out words. i became faster at reading everytime i read. in the 5th grade we took a reading speed test. they told me i read on a 9th drade levle when i was only in the 5th grade. but that the stroy how i learned how to read

Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address

Lincoln wrote The Inaugural Speech to make people see that the things they where doing isn't right and the things we are doing wasn't  right,we wasn't taking pride in our country, we had slaves but America was suppose to be a free country? didn't seem like it at time. ''both read he same bible and pray to the same god and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask god  for god assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces''? He was saying how could any men ask for the help of God when they are doing Wrong and there asking God to help them Continue to do wrong ..''One would make war rather than  let the nation survie''.. he was just saying instead of takeing the easy way out they rather fight but he did not want war.
