This is a story about a father who decides he wants to read to his daughter. To entice her, they make an agreement they call it the “The Streak”. He is a librarian for an elementary school; and his daughter, she was in 4th grade when they started this tradition. They read first 100 straight bedtime stories, later they went to 1,000 and then they could not stop. This routine helped them to make their bond stronger. They stop when she went to college.
Thru his experience, he knows students who read will go to college; they will get a better job, has a higher income and live longer….
This is just another warm story about how important is to read to your kids.
