What is a good reader?

What is a good reader?  Are you?  Why or why not?  How can I teach students to become effective readers and writers?

A believe that a good reader is someone who reads for several purposes. Someone who reads for enjoyment, purpose, school, to their children, and etc.  A good reader to me reads often and when possible, someone who reads as a hobby.  Unfortunately, I don't find time to read often, but I do enjoy reading. I try to read the Bible daily.  I believe that a good reader not only reads just to read but also comprehends what they are reading.  To me a good reader uses the dictionary and thesaurus when necessary and stops and questions what they have just read. 

As a future teacher the number one thing I can do to teach my students to be effective readers and writers is to be a good role model.  How?  By reading to them, in front of them, by sharing my thoughts with them about certain books, having literature circles and discussions.
