I think that my early exposure to literacy helped me to enjoy reading more than some of my peers at school. The elementary school that I went to was surrounded by a lot of low income housing and was in a lower socio economic area, so I don't think every family had the same resources my family had to support my early literacy exposure.
I began my undergraduate degree in speech and language science and while studying the one thing I found professors drilling into us was the importance of early literacy exposure!

Working in school and doing levelled literacy I have seen so many children who are not meeting their reading levels and who hate reading. I partially wonder if this is due to lack of early exposure to literacy. I studied linguistics for the first half of my undergraduate degree and it was drilled into us the importance of reading with young children. Reading is one of my favourite pass times and I am thankful that I have been fortunate enough to have such a positive experience with literacy.
