Our dd (now 11yo) showed unusual interest in the written word at a very early age. One of her first spoken words was "readabook." And her speech and reading fluency took off almost simultaneously, just around her 2nd birthday. By age 4 she didn't want us to read aloud to her any more, 'cuz we were too slow :-(

These days, she's still crazy about books and its a rare day she reads less than 500 pages. And she's very cuddly - fortunately we found ways to bond with her other than reading aloud to her.
