Play Dates and Other Tales

Ed Gray, a World War II veteran, holds numerous awards for his bravery and service in combat in the US military. Battling wars in the military was hard, but he says nothing has been harder than learning how to read. His goal as he states was to read just one book. Well at 89 years old, he achieved this goal and more. With assistance from a reading professional, Gray started with sight words which led to picture books which led to 3rd grade-level books. Proudly, he's reading books on a 6th grade-level today. Hopefully, this story will inspire the importance of reading at any age. For it's never too early or too late to learn how to read.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57611600/wwii-vet-starts-new-chapter-after-conquering-illiteracy/
