Just curious to hear what your definition of reading is. I am keeping track of DS2.10 milestones for possible future reference but I am confused about what to make of his reading. Do I even call it that at this point. He knows about 100 words by sight and can therefore read easy readers skipping some words here and there.

To me though, I don't think I would consider this READING. He is not able to sound out words himself although he knows what the word is if I sound it out for him. He knows all his letter sounds but doesn't get the concept (or chooses not to).

Curious to hear about what you consider qualifying as the "reading" milestone.
