I get the same thing--I taught high school English, not elementary, but people always asked me what I did to get my daughter reading. Well I read books to her. She was frustrated she couldn't read before she was talking much. After she had a huge language explosion at one, she started reading words too. She asked lots of questions and I answered. I let her play some starfall. And she was reading pretty well when two; fluent when three.

I sometimes do suddenly wonder if people assume she's where she is because if my hot housing her. But I just let her drag me along, and I like to think I'm pretty adept at providing an enriching environment, between both parents being in early childhood ed and DD being interested in many areas of my strength. Mostly when folks comment I just joke about her attending English class in the womb.
