A 4-year-old girl, Georgian girl, Daliyah Marie Arana, has reportedly read over one thousand books.
The amazing girl whose story went viral, visited the Washington D.C library and roamed the hallways with Carla Hayden, the 14th Librarian of Congress.
Haleema Arana, Daliya’s mother, said her daughter joined Georgia reading club “1,000 Books Before Kindergarten” when she was some months over two years old.
“She was about two and a half when we signed her up for it, most of the kids she graduated the program with were a little bit older.”
She added that at 18-month-old, she could recognise words and she picked it up from there. “She wanted to take over and do the reading on her own, it kind of took off from there. The more words she learned, the more she wanted to read,” her mother said.
Arana noted that she wants “to teach other kids to read at an early age, too”, adding that the Library of Congress was her “most favourite, library in the whole wide world”.
