[quote=Anonymous]I just wrote a longer reply then accidentally deleted it. But wanted to say that PP's should distinguish between a precocious reader and hyperlexia. Hyperlexia is atypical development and comes with other challenges (low reading comprehension, language delays, etc.), including very high rates of autism. 17 months is too early to know how things will develop, but if the daycare teachers are saying it's unusual, OP is right to be paying attention and learning what other developmental signs to look out for. Either way, OP should be impressed and not overly worried. By 2.5 or so it should be clearer if it's hyperlexia or "regular" early reading. https://www.healthline.com/health/hyperlexia#signs[/quote]
