[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever. My kid did it at 6. He had delays but now he is an honor roll student. 6 is late but 2 is hardly the norm.[/quote]

2 is the norm. Some kids are earlier. Some later. It all works out in the end.[/quote]

Not the poster you quoted, but no, 2 really isn't the norm. It might be the norm in 2013 in DC because people are trying to actively teach babies the alphabet and numbers. But in the world in general, 2 is very young for this. [/quote]

+1. I'm from Germany and we don't make toddlers memorize letters and numbers there. Most kids, even from educated families, start learning to read in first grade.[/quote]

+1.  My kid doesn't "read" at 3 because we haven't worked on it.  He can memorize books but I don't kid myself that he's reading.  I honestly don't know whether he knows all the letters or not.  I am sure he can identify more farm equipment than 95% of the moms on here, and he is very good at interpreting radar on the Weather Channel.  they learn what they are exposed to.[/quote]

Same with my 3yo. I really don't teach him anything. He just picks up whatever it may be that he's into. Which is construction vehicles at the moment.[/quote]
