How does literacy influence people's life? Are we literate? The ability to communicate well (read, write and speak) is the core of human experience in literacy. Language skills are essential tools not only because they serve as the necessary basis for further learning and career development, but also because they enrich the human perspective, cultivate responsible people, and maintain the mutual memory of a nation. People have a personal relationship with language and learning because they need it to interact with each other. Since I was a child, my relationship with language and learning was very strong although I had negatively influenced by teachers and society. .
When I was born in Peru my parent's financial situation was not solvent. Consequently, I went to a public elementary school. The teachers did not concern of students" learning, but my grades in school were excellent through second grade .The public school teachers did not perform their job due to the low salaries, and the minimal supplies given by the government. I knew that their disinterest made it difficult for students" to achieve in classes. Therefore, I did not learn during my childhood, but my parents were the only ones who supported my development in school. .
My home played a vital role in promoting my reading. When I was six months old, my dad read me books daily. I would sit in his lap, always on the same chair, and we would look at books; talk about the pictures, and read the stories. By the time I was eighteen months old, I was repeating some of the words from the text and imitated his intonation. Reading was a ritual that my dad and I enjoyed. When I was three years old, I chanted some of the words with him from familiar stories that had been read to me over and over. I remember that visiting the library was always a treat, and my dad made me select two books each visit.
Furthermore, when I was four, I was reading on my own, and my interest in reading surged.
