[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just went to the library when I was a kid. I read everything at home, and we had tons of books, so I then read all of the encyclopedias and Webster's dictionary. I read everything I could read, including the backs of bottles in the bathroom, the ingredients on every box in the kitchen, my dad's GED books (and passed the practice tests when I was really young)....I still read everything. I have almost 3,000 books in my home library, not counting children's books. Just let her read. You'll be shocked at what a difference it will make. I can read somewhere around 1,000 wpm (not sure of the exact number). I have never used a bookmark, and have never turned down the corner of a page. I can have 5 or 6 books going at once, and always know exactly where I am in each one, no matter how long it's been since I read it. [/quote]

Wow we are so alike! I am an incredibly fast reader (would get in trouble in elementary school because the teachers didn’t believe I could be done) and have also never used bookmarks because my brain basically memorized where I stopped. I truly love books![/quote]
