True. There is more to it than just yes, he is reading, or no, he is not. I will for sure write down this "reading" milestone. And even though I can't say he is actually READING now, he is on his way.
Seemed his older brother, DS4, never read phonetically. Read his first easy reader at age 2yr 8mo but there was never any sounding out of words at all. Never once, at least in the beginning. A couple of months into it, as the books got more advanced, he would stop and look at a new word before reading it. I guess he was "sounding" it out in silence.
