I learned how to read when I was 4. My 9 year old brother kind of taught me. He loved to read and loved to read to me out loud. When he read his finger would always follow the text. I guess I started asking him questions about the letters and sounds but mainly I picked it up by listening to him read while watching the text above his finger. He loved Poe!
My second son used to drive me crazy when he was 2. He would bring those plastic magnetic letters to me over and over again asking what they were. If answered wrong he would correct me. He didn't learn to read until he was in school but he knew all of his letters and was bored to tears while the others learned them. |
