Not shitting you, they had a program at my elementary school and you got patches at certain levels of books. I maxed out the program. We would go to the library weekly with a huge cart of books.

Do you enjoy reading now or read books often still?

I too read a ton in elementary school. Now I rarely read a book for myself.

I am reading chapter books to my kids though and really enjoying that.

Yes, the books are much longer now though! Getting through on average 1 per week (or two). Have two or three in progress at any given time.

What specifically have you noticed, or what specific affect would you attribute to that undertaking, other than the obvious: I like to read more. Do you feel it positively affected your reading comprehension, speed, etc? I have young kids which is why I'm asking :-)

Vocabulary - I had more (by quantity and complexity) earlier than other kids, and I've only increased the delta between Me and Average Person to this day. It's extremely rare that I come across a word I don't know, or can't intuit, the meaning of. Have to go back to Victorian novels to find obscure words, just for kicks.

I don't think I'm anything special on speed or comprehension, though.

Thanks for the fast reply! I might need to make a little badge system for the kids. Of course, they'll think it's fun for them, but it would really be for me to keep some type of tally. :-D

I can attest to the same thing only with getting pussy. I banged over 10,000 women in the last two years alone, let alone the amount of women I fucked in second grade
