I agree with that definition. Memorization alone isn't reading. Check. smile

I don't know that I've tried that. I will do so tonight. (They're playing by themselves, and there's no way I'm interrupting that!!! laugh )

I will say that he has never spontaneously read anything but his name. Nothing. He rarely even IDs letters unless prompted to, and then he gets as many wrong as he gets right. I haven't tried to see if he can write more letters than he can read. I rather doubt it, but it would be a horse race for sure.
