I love seeing how different kids approach reading. My daughter just turned 4 and a half a few weeks ago and started actively reading books on her own at about a year ago. She was two and could read hundreds and hundreds of words, but it took awhile before she burst out reading her first sentence. Now she finishes off Magic Treehouse books in an hours. My mom said that's how I was, too. My son on the other hand loved letters and wanted to know all their sounds at two and then that was IT! He did say to his sister once that he wanted me to teach him to read, but when I brought out some Bob books, he started acting really silly and I knew he wasn't at all ready for this.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a big questioner and I think learned by asking me "what's this say" over and over again. My son, OTOH, is an observer. He wouldn't touch the computer for the longest time, but then he shocked me by asking to play a game and knew exactly what to do right away, even very complicated things. I think somewhere around 8 or 9 he'll just shock by by picking up a book and reading it. We'll see.
