I don’t remember my father teaching me to read but he was an avid reader and I was reading well before six. When I in the third grade I won the library summer reading contest - I read all my books and all
my sister’s books (she was in first grade) - I read like 60 books, my sister 20 and the high school winner ten :)
We moved and had a bookmobile at our new location and I would get a paper grocery bag of books every week.
