My grammar school had a great reading program using short stories, age related topics, to improve reading comprehension, etc. This started in the third grade...maybe 7 years old...around 1962...I flew through all the stories in the program and loved them.
The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries were favorites.
My first book bought with my own money was "The Hobbit". I was in the 7th grade. It was a reading assignment and we read, aloud, every day. I was hooked and in love with reading.
Alas I lost the book a few years ago when my basement flooded...sad.
