Exactly! And that's exactly what I wonder about. But I haven't followed up with a specialist yet for a couple of reasons. 1) I think they'll think I'm crazy to take my DS3 to a doctor because he can't yet read, and 2) just when I was ready to make an appointment (no matter what they thought of me!), he started writing all of a sudden and very well. That said to me that maybe I'm just being a nervous nellie and he's just developing differently.

But I can't get past how weird it seems to me for a kid to write before reading, which is why I wondered how common that is, if it indicates a 2E issue or if it's just another developmental path?
