[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an early reader. One of five and I can tell you right now he has a HUGE advantage over his siblings. He learned how to read fluently and at a very high level by mid year of K. He reads everything and all the time. The amount of content and knowledge he has accumulated is huge. His vocabulary is also impressive for a first grader. He has learned so many science and history facts that he is light years ahead of many kids. His spelling is also at about a high school level now because of how much he reads. He corrects his oldest siblings spelling already. I have a couple late readers and the difference between the kids is very clear. It did not even out at 3rd grade. My point is, early readers often learn more and more about the world and have much higher knowledge than their peers. [/quote]

Couldn't he have also got this as a non-reader -- just reading with parents, for example? I've had several people tell me that my son has an impressive vocabulary, that he is bright, etc., and he can't read. He may recognize words like dog, no, yes, and his name. [/quote]
