Our dd4 (5 in November) was a spontaneous reader just before age 3. She loves books but mostly just pages through them studying pictures and reading parts here and there. Two weeks ago, she took the WPPSI-3 and the WIAT-2 and she hit the ceiling with 160 for word reading on the WIAT2. When we can get her to read aloud she reads fluently and with feeling but she resists reading to us. She loves for us to read to her, and like I said, when she reads alone she seems to be studying pictures intently and only reading bits and pieces of stories on each page. My question is...Is it a concern that she is more than capable of devouring chapter books geared toward first and second graders but still isn't? She prefers picture books and leveled readers. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
