[quote=Anonymous]Yes, my firstborn knew all the letters around that age and could read easy three letter words when he was 2, and could read fluently when he was 3.5 or so. For reference, I have a video of him reading a Mercy Watson book out loud to himself a month or so before he turned 4.

He continues to be a voracious reader but honestly prefers graphic novels and things like diary of a wimpy kid these days. He is 8. He will occasionally pick up an adult nonfiction book though and read all 300ish pages.  But he prefers typical third grade boy “literature” these days.

He has ADHD (not severe enough to need meds) and that’s probably why he read so early. He has a tendency to hyper focus on things that interest him and as a toddler, reading interested him the most. All he ever wanted was books and more books!

He is smart but not off the charts- like, scores 95-99% in the MAP/ cogat stuff but he isn’t the brightest in his grade.

Hope this helps give some perspective! And take videos because it’s adorable to see a toddler reading aloud. You’ll look back on them later![/quote]
