I grew up surrounded by books. My earliest memory is a dear Great Aunt and Uncle Reading to me, and I still have some of those "Little Golden Books." My parents were both readers and I would read anything if a book wasn't available. Cereal boxes, shampoo bottles, anything. My mom would go to the Bookmobile and take me with her. I would have been 10 when she started doing that.
I do remember the school reading program called SRA. I also rememember finishing all of those well before the rest of the class, (you worked at your own pace) and being allowed to read other books during that class time. I would have been in 3rd or 4th grade I think. You read a Short story, then answered questions to test your comprehension. I remember thinking it was strange because the other kids took SO long to do each one.
