I absolutely loved that time of the day. My listening comprehension and imagination expanded exponentially during that period. Then later on SRA came along and launched me on a life long love of reading on my own. I read through the system quickly and was thrilled when I discovered I would then be allowed to read whatever I wanted. Fifty years later I still love to read and I even dabble in writing. I have often wondered if there were others back then who had received the gift of reading and understanding which I learned from the SRA system. There were other things to read in class but SRA is the one that sticks in my memory. I am so glad someone way back in the stone age of education came up with the SRA system because I shudder to think where I would be now had it not came along when it did.
