One Million Words

<proudpappa>

I attended a Reading Awards ceremony this morning at my daughter's school. The top readers from the 5th and 6th grade were recognized for their reading proficiency.

My daughter Ryley is one of the children who read over a million words during the first semester. That works out to about 1 Harry Potter size book a week; outside of regular school work and reading assignments. Good Job Ryley!

6 - That is FANTASTIC!! As a father of five, have always stressed year-round, constant learning; and a big part of that year-round constant learning is reading. All the time. Period. And this award shows the commitment Ryley has towards reading - and the encouragement and reinforcement provided by Ryley's dad.

Great job - to both of you!
