Brian:
My earliest memories of reading are quite fuzzy. I do not have a photographic memory so I have trouble remembering. When my older brother learned to read he tried to teach me, but at the time I was 4 and I would rather throw blunt objects at him. My earliest memory of actually attempting to read was my dad showing me the newspaper. He would read off sport results from the games and began to teach me by reading sports articles.
Tyler:
I don't remember much of learning how to read. I know it was hard for my mom to teach me because she had to teach my twin sister at the same time when she was a single mom. The only thing I can remember is reading my first book, Dr. Suess' Green Eggs and Ham. I guess I was a quick learner because I could read the whole book before my sister. I can't remember how old I was at the time.
Comparsion:
Family seems to play an important part in both stories. We were both taught by our parental gurdians. There are several differences in our stories. Brian learned to read by looking at newspapers, while Tyler learned from the master of rhymes The Dr. Seuss.
