Adora Svitak started reading when she was 3, writing when she was 5, and blogging when she was 7. When she was 7 years old, she typed out over 250,000 words of poems, short stories, and observations about the world around her in a single year.

Now she gives lectures on the importance of literacy and she gave a Ted Talk in 2010 on what adults can learn from kids.
