DS was a fluent whole word reader from 2 and seemed to absorb words by being read to. He was never interested in early readers or reading eggs (found it too repetitive) but loved books like Pamela Allen Mr McGee books which are fun, rhyming and use similar words. We kept reading above level books to him and he would read on whenever I paused for too long. He loved non fiction books too and the Usborne beginner series he could read too (from animals to castles to space etc). For him decoding came around 4 but he has such a large vocab his educated guesses before that were usually right. Just keep reading a variety of easy to above level and see what is enjoyed
