A friend shared this on Facebook today, saying

I saw a story about this book on Sunday Morning today. I really miss reading to my kids. Somehow, we have developed this idea that you can be "too old" to be read to, kind of like how you can be too old to wear diapers or drink from a baby bottle. (I even had someone tell me that Aylish was "too young" to be read to, once!) I think I'm going to start doing it again, whether they like it or not!

When Alice Ozma was nine years old, her father made a promise: to read to her every night, without missing a night, for one-hundred nights. But once the pair met their goal, they couldn't stop. 100 became 1,000, and eventually, they decided to read as long as they possibly could. The Reading Streak, as they called it, ultimately lasted 3,218, finally ending on Alice's first day of college. The story of their amazing commitment to reading, and to each other, is chronicled in Alice Ozma's book The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared, available in stores in time for Father's Day 2011.

Sounds like a really neat idea, and isn't reading a part of what we're about?
