I see what you're both saying now, and agree somewhat. But the thing about the OP's link was that this teacher is arguing that precocious readers haven't mastered reading but have only given the appearance of having mastered it, and then everyone catches up (presumably in third grade). Her goofy analogy about teeth is that they grow at a certain rate that you can't accelerate, just like you can't accelerate the rate at which kids learn to read.
A really bad thing about that article is that she talks about children needing to be able to pick up nuances from texts, but completely fails to see nuances in how (and how fast) different children learn to read.
