So while I have no useful suggestions of curriculum, I think it's damaging to not teach a child who is asking to learn and probably is able to.
I think so, too. I bitterly regret not taking the initiative to teach DD at 2, when she was VERY clearly capable, and eager to learn.
She's so highly visual that being read to was really not as enjoyable for her as reading silently to herself. I look back and realize that it was selfish of us to want to preserve the experience of reading TO her-- which she ditched almost immediately and without a backwards glance. I can count on one hand the number of books I've read TO her since she was 5 years old. Her preference.
NOT teaching her two years sooner was a mistake. That's two years that she could have more fully enjoyed print materials.
