What do you get out of reading?

“Knowledge, because it educates me. I can learn things out of

nonfiction, and that’s how it educates me.”

LAURA VILLAFANA, 12

Costa Mesa

“The biggest benefit of reading is how you get to learn other

things that you really don’t know. If someone asks you about

something, you can learn by reading about it.”

KARLA VILLEGAS, 12

Costa Mesa

“Learning, because you can learn more stuff about animals, how to

build stuff and ancient times. I like reading about animals because I

want to be a veterinarian.”

MARCOS HERNANDEZ, 11

“Learning how to understand the book and how to read it, because

you need to know how to read for the future when you get a job.”

ANTONIO GARCIA, 11

Costa Mesa

“When I get a book that looks good and then read it, I learn

something, like ‘don’t do drugs’ or how to play soccer.”
