[quote=Anonymous]I think it's like everything else with kids. I never understood when people said their kid learned to walk on a certain day. It was such a gradual process for us that by the time I was willing to say he was definitely walking it had been a while since the first step. Same with talking. Very gradual. Reading is the same. They will start to pick up words here and there, and learn to sound out shorter words, etc. But when are they actually "reading"?? Depends on your definition... I probably won't consider it reading until ds is able to read a full reader on his own with minimal help. But on the way to that point he has definitely "read" things. Signs, short cvc readers, pages here and there of Doctor Seuss, etc. He is "reading" already... But I won't pinpoint it yet as milestone reached.[/quote]
