Nathan Brant loves reading so much, he doesn't ever have to be told to pull out a book.
The first grade student at Franklin Elementary School can always be found with his nose in a book.
"When he's done with his work he automatically pulls out a book," said Amanda Zook, his teacher at Franklin. "He is a great reader and is always trying to learn more from books."
For Brant, 7, it's a way that is developing him into a better reader.
"I like that I'm getting good at it and practicing a lot," Brant said.
When he is not reading, Brant has been a role model in other ways for the rest of the students in the class.
"He's a hard worker, who is always listening, trying his best and always doing his job," Zook said.
