The Streak: A Family Tradition of Reading

I read in the New York Times on Sunday this article about a father who read started a family tradition with his daughter when she was in the fourth grade: reading to her for 100 straight nights.

That 100 turned in to 1000 when neither one of them wanted to give it up. That 1000 turned in to countless nights (well, OK, someone can count them, but it involves higher math) and ended only when she went off to college.

Think about that: reading together EVERY night from 4th grade to college…sometimes on the phone, sometimes at the theater when rehearsal went too long, sometimes in the snugness of home.

I hope that our family can adopt the spirit of the Streak.
