[quote=Anonymous]My son knew all the letter sounds before 2 and all the letters just after 2.  He was a late talker but had an early obsession with letters and numbers.  I introduced the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD at around 19 months. The DVD teaches the letters but really focuses on the letter sounds.  I thought it might help him talk because it would reinforce letter sounds.  He learned all the letter sounds in about 6 weeks.  He loved to play with magnetic letters on a door for hours a day.  He learned to read when he was 3.

My daughter is 2 years, 7 months.  I introduced the same DVD to her.  She likes it but she has not been as interested in letters as her brother.  She can sing the ABC song and is close to recognizing all the letters, but misses a few.   In some cases, when I ask which letter I am pointing to, she says the letter sound but not the name of the letter.  She is learning the letters in preschool now, so I suspect she will have them figured out by the time she is 3.  There is a wide variation in when kids learn letters.  Some as early as 18 months, others after they turn 3.  This is all within normal. [/quote]
