Interview Analysis

Today, I interviewed a student, which had a very interesting literacy background. Since a young age she started to speak and read English. Nevertheless, she was taught basic key words in Spanish; due to the fact her grandmother only spoke Spanish. So in order to communicate with her grandmother she was taught Spanish.  As a grown-up she doesn’t only speak Spanish and English. She also knows some Protégées. In the future she will like to learn how to speak and read more Protégées, French, Italian and German.  After asking all her background question we started to talk about how did she began her interest of reading. It was at school and later at home when she was given books to read to improve her reading. She doesn’t remember what book she read for first time, but she really enjoyed reading a bear book. Her interest in reading the most was in eighth grade when she really knew how to read. She lived in Costa Rica back then and to a British school that infancies there students to read a lot. So she says that thanks to the teachers that worked at that school she was able to learn how to read better. She likes to read all types of books and believes that all books have something, which one could learn from it. I asked her that if she had taught other students how to read, her answer was yes. Also, she says that she thought that this girl who she taught how to teach was going to know more English and read better due to the fact that she came from a family that only spoke English. She believes that kids that come from professional parents know less than those that come from unprofessional families and all this is cause by the time professional parents don’t give to their kids.
