[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the past two weeks DD will recognize  every letter in alphabet and can make the sounds of twenty consistently.  She recently showed she can pick out letters from individual words as well.  We read at home but definitely don’t work on letter recognition.  Apparently they do letter of the week at daycare so I’m assuming she picked it up there?  Her teacher said she’s the only one in the class who can do this.  I’m impressed.  My two oldest didn’t do this until maybe 3 or 4 when it was directly taught in preschool.  Is this a sign of hyperlexia or am I overthinking it?  She’s memorized a few easy books too but I don’t think she’s recognizing words but just has memorized the words by page.

I know in the long run it doesn’t matter if she’s reading at 2 or 7 but I’m curious if others have experienced this with their toddlers?  Where are they now academically?  Were they early readers?[/quote]

Let us know when she's reading "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" at age 8 and we'll be suitably impressed![/quote]
