[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter just turned 4 and can recognize letters and her name but still doesn't know or sing the ABC song. Knows numbers up to 50 and can point them out- can point out groups of things and tell me how many are in the group up to maybe 10 or so, I guess. She's pretty average. [/quote]

Yep, totally in same boat.  I was surprised that more people didn't say the same thing.  Our DD knew the ABC song and 1-10 (counting, not number recognition) by 18 months or so.  Clearly knew the letters by 3.  My DS, on the other hand, just never liked the song.  Whenever we sang it, he told us to stop singing.  He knows all of this letters and can read simple words, but I don't think he has any concept that one letter comes after another in the alphabet and definitely does not know the song.  He also can count and recognize numbers up to about 50 (more or less), but won't point them out if you ask him to do so.  In fact, I didn't think he knew a single number until the other day when he managed to turn on the TV (didn't know he knew how to do that) and told me that channel 38 (white fuzz) was on.  By golly, the number on the screen was 38.  So clearly he knows more than he is letting on.  [/quote]
