[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did the same thing with both my kids, reading and pointing out text. One of them could read before he could talk (he was in EI and his therapist figured it out). By kindergarten he coul read virtually anything. The other will be 6 in October and can't read anything other than his name.
So it might just be genetic.[/quote]

Being able to read at a young age without being taught is actually pretty common in children on the autism spectrum.[/quote]

Found the insecure parent of a late reader. [/quote]

This is sad to me that you read that comment so negatively. There are lots of ways to learn. Picking up reading early is a superpower in neurodiverent children.[/quote]

With a sample size around 5000, only about 15 kids were unable to learn to read before age 6 when taught 1:1 starting at age 3.  The median child was reading 3rd grade, 1st semester by the end of kindergarten at that preschool (which is not located here).  So neuro-typical is to read comfortably before 1st grade, provided child is given 5-10 minutes of phonics or reading aloud each school day for a 9 month school year.[/quote]
