Literacy Story!! Pannell, Aisha AISHA: The first time I started reading was when I was real little where I thought I was reading and I used to read to my baby dolls and make up stories out of the books that I was reading. Then I would start when I actually learned how to read, I would read to my cousins and my sisters and I would have them memorize the books because they couldn't read either. My favorite place to read is probably outside. My aunt and my great grandma probably influenced my reading the most. My great grandma has always read a whole bunch. My aunt Debby, she reads like self-help books and that's my favorite types of books to read. I think that going to influence my career goal which is going to be to be a psychologist.
