Hi, folks, here's a wierdish question...
DS3 likes to have books from the 12+ section read to him. He doesn't read yet. DH is worried he'll have trouble learning to read because of the mismatch in the level of the content he's interested in, and the level of the content available to beginning readers. My guess is that he'll learn to read at 6 or maybe 5, and by then I fully expect him to be requesting adult-type material read to him as a habit (or, like, maybe by the end of the week or so
).
(DH read at 2, and was really taken aback by the idea a kid might have an interest in more complex content than they could actually read to themself. He could always read ahead of his interest level.
(I did have in interest in much more complex content than I could read... and I had an auful time learning to read, and had to do remedial reading in grade 2 because I failed grade 1... I'm G-LD [aka 2e], though)
Anyone have any experience with this?
No rush, I'm just feeling social tonight, and I haven't got a good brag at the moment
.
