[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child looks at a book they have never seen before and can read it without help, using a combination of sounding out the words and knowing sight words[/quote] This. It's a great question, OP. There's a lot of "Larla was reading at 3" which really means "Larla had memorized texts" at 3. (Not to say there aren't 3 year olds who are properly reading.)[/quote] My 3.5 year old read new books at that age. It was not memorized. It surprised us. But, agree new book not memorized they've see hundreds of times.[/quote] I think most parents aren't stupid and will only say Larlo is reading when he's actually reading. Our DC could pick up books as difficult as Magic Treehouse and read them aloud with really good accuracy at age 3.5. Did DC understand each individual sentence? Most. Could DC recount the plot? Uh, no but that doesn't mean DC wasn't reading.[/quote]
