“Good Readers and Writers”

Good Readers and Writers, they start at a young age!

    Nabokov thinks a good reader is someone with an imagination, a memory, a dictionary, and has an artistic sense. I definitely agree with him. I think if a reader has these qualities then they will truly get everything out of the story that the author intended while writing the book. Good characteristics of a good reader consist of many different things. First of all I think it is most important for the reader to be interested in reading. If the reader likes to read then the imagination, memory, and artistic sense are great characteristics for the reader. Also, I think that comprehension and understanding  is important for a good reader too. I consider myself an fine reader. I am not a good nor bad reader. I have never been a reader. I can read and will read but I can always find something else to so instead. I have read books in the past and truly enjoyed them. Although it is far and few between. Growing up I always wished I was a reader. It always looked so relaxing and enjoyable, but it was never me. I finally came to realize it was not me. Not everyone is a good reader.
