This little girl is truly an inspiration. 1,000 books no matter what there size or reading level seems impossible, but this little girl did it in six months and before even one day of schooling. This is the perfect way to start children education early. If every parent was dedicated to teaching their child before they start school, then students would end up achieving even more from school.
According to this article, students are starting school with the most minuscule knowledge of anything, especially reading. The advancement of students can be traced back to before they even started school, and those who had less exposure to reading are the student that are below or at average level.
Words cannot describe how amazing this little girl is to me. I made a reading goal for this year that was 48, 200 page or more novels. This goal now seems very insignificant compared to the accomplishment of this girl. I understand that the books she read were not 200 page novels, but the discipline and love of books this girl had to have is truly remarkable.
