[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I taught both of my girls to read and we did it the old fashioned way. They read before K and my eldest is a voracious reader with an amazing vocabulary in HS. My youngest struggles a bit in 3rd grade but she is more into sports than books. She does ok though.[/quote] My son has a learning disability (the non verbal one) but his vocabulary testing was always in the 99th percentile, always grades ahead. He uses words I’m not familiar with. No teaching on my part we just went to the library and book stores. Mostly book stores a lot. His reading ability also was several grades ahead. He credits all of the adult comic books he read. And of course his teachers deserve credit. They picked great books for the students to read. [/quote]
