[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child read LOTR and the Hobbit with DH before kindergarten. So 4yo. They read for an hour each night from age 24 months until age 7. She could certainly comprehend it. And she could read a few pages at a time. On her own she was reading books like charlotte’s web before kindergarten.

She’s not the most advanced child I’ve ever met! And I’ve only met a small percentage of kids in the world. So I’d expect there are kids reading much better than her. This isn’t something you advertise. She’s not even in a gifted program. [/quote]

I say this as a child whose mom read to her a lot before bed, through middle school, and I plan to read to mine as long as they’ll let me.

At one point my mom read aloud To Kill a Mockingbird me. I don’t think it was BAD that she read the book to me but to be clear while I understood the words my mom was reading, I did not fully appreciate the significance of the rape part until I read it again on my own when I was much older.
