DS is just starting to read for pleasure. It's like he wasn't interested until he got to a level where he could read books that he likes. He spent his Christmas money on a novelization of the first three Star Wars episodes. Probably not a common choice among Kindergarteners smile

I am trying to tread carefully with the school, letting them "discover" his abilities. It seems to work better than me going in there and saying, DS can do x and y. They don't really believe me. I have been careful not to mention that he started reading when he was 2 1/2--I don't think that would go over well, either.
