This summer our local library had a "Ready, Set, Read" program and one of the initiatives was for kids to log their hours of reading during the summer. Addy was excited and carefully kept track of her hours and a few weeks ago I took her to the library to claim her free book. What I didn't realize what that her hours qualified her for a bronze medal, but you could get silver with 15 more hours and gold required and additional 25 hours. Well I've never seen a child quite so focused on anything like the way Addy became consumed with reading. There were only a couple of weeks left to qualify and she became obsessed with reading in every spare minute. She brought books in the car, she stayed up late reading, she read on the couch, it was extremely impressive. She reached the silver medalist status on August 31st (the deadline) and the librarian told her that they would extend the timing to encourage gold medalists, so she kept at it.
Last week she met the gold medal status and got to claim another free book. We definitely have a bookworm on our hands! We are so proud of our busy little reader. Congratulations Adelyn!
