My name is Jessica and I am the creator of Readingwyou.
When I was younger I hated reading. I started school not knowing English. I had left with my mother to Colombia for two years and came back only knowing Spanish. Because of that I was put into ESL (English as a Second Language). I had a hard time with learning the language, pronunciation, and I couldn’t grasp the concepts I was reading.
My pops was a huge reader! Still is. He used to take me to BJ’s and we would always stop at the book section. He would tell me “pick any book you’d like” and I would. I would pickup any book that had a fun cover, or a hoy guy, or beautiful colors. This became a tradition with my father and I.
We would buy the books, come home, and read them together. This is how I fell in love with reading.
Then, I became an adult, and time felt so sparse. I lost the connection that I once had with books.
This page is to help me reconnect with an activity that I used to love so much. That I used to stay up all night for. That I would sneakily read in math class.
I hope you’ll enjoy this page as much as I will. Thank you for letting me read with you.
