Egyptian student is top reader at a US public school: An Egyptian girl attending an ESL program in New Hampshire’s Portsmouth is her school’s top reader by a mile. Noor El Said (pictured above, credits to The Portsmouth Herald) checked out 144 books from the library in a single school year. Her passion for books eclipsed the competing second and third place readers who only checked out only 26 and 22 books respectively. El Said emigrated with her family from Alexandria in 2017 after her father was diagnosed with cancer.
