[quote=Anonymous]My son had been sounding out short words for months and a couple of months before he turned 4 I realized that he was actually reading, rather than memorizing some of his very short books (very simple three letter words). I couldn't believe it so I handed him another book that was brand new and he'd never seen before. He read every word. By the time he turned 4 he was reading regularly. By 4.5 he was reading chapter books with complex language and plots. Something just clicked for him very early and he sped through the grade levels in very quick succession. He's just turned 5 and is now a fluent reader who is very motivated to read all types of fiction and non-fiction. BUT, don't use him or any other kid as a yard stick for your kid. He was just ready and interested and motivated at 3/almost 4 and other kids don't reach that stage until much later.[/quote]
