One day this young man by the name of Greg Essakow went to a school in a far away country named Switzerland. He was now old enough to go to school. He was very excited and was looking forward to learning how to read and to meet lots of new friends. He got to school and walked into class and sat down and began to learn how to read. Everyone around him was learning to read and he was the only one in the whole class that couldn’t read.
He was very upset about this and began to cry. The teacher came over and asked him what was wrong? The little boy said I can’t read and everyone else can. The boy was afraid that everyone was going to make fun of him. After a few weeks he still couldn’t read. The kids began to make fun of him and started to call him names. He was so upset he wouldn’t want to come to school. He tried so hard to learn how to read and yet he still couldn’t get the hang of it. The next year had come and he had a new teacher this teacher was a very nice and smart man and the little boy thought this year will be the won that he would learn how to read. As the year begun everyone still made fun of the little boy that he couldn’t read and they would call him dumb and stupid and the boy would always cry. After a few days the teacher began to tutor the little boy and teach him how to read. The teacher tried everything but the boy couldn’t learn how to read. The one day the teacher decided that he was going to try something new. He tried by painting the letters on a piece of canvas. This was helping the little boy learn. After a few months of learning like this Greg was a perfect reader and everyone wanted to read as well as him. He was so happy that he could read and now that he could read nobody made fun of him and he had lots of fun reading and being at school because he know had friends to read with. This young man is me Greg Essakow and now I am in eight grade and I love to read.
