[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From being read to..or seeing picture of a fox or a box with the word next to it.  There was no implication that the child was not exposed to books etc.  It is completely possible. Every kid is different.[/quote]

Ahh see the truth comes out..  Stop saying your child taught themselves because its a bold faced lie.[/quote]

So reading to your child is the equivalent of teaching your child how to read.  Sure, I'll buy that.  It's an important thing to do, to set habits early and expose children to a love of books and learning and to the realization that the alphabet has meaning.  Most parents read to their preschoolers.  Not all preschoolers are able to read back to their parents.[/quote]
+1  Well said!
We read to our dc all the time but had no idea she could read on her own until her kindergarten teacher told us at the beginning of the school year that she could read fluently.  So, we did not "teach" her but we did read to her all the time and she figured the patterns out on her own and I have no idea when that happened.  She just didn't tell us she could read on her own!  We never did flash cards and didn't even point to words as we read them out loud.  She is in a HGC now and still loves to read.  [/quote]
