Thank you all so much for the advice and ideas! I was completely unsure about the line between pushing and encouraging so, I was freaking out with images of flashcard drills with a 2 year old, lol. But, magnetic letters and alphabet puzzles are much more appealing! I sat down with the magnets and lined them up and sang the alphabet song with her. She grabbed the letter 'B' and said "B!" and started making it's sound. She pointed to M and said it's sound too, but she is now pointing to B in books and signs. What's funny is that B and M are 2 of the letters we've done with DS4 that she was awake while we were working in his reading workbook. I had no idea she was actually listening. She had been begging to sit on my lap when we worked, but I thought it was because I was giving DS4 all of my attention, maybe she's actually wanting to learn with him.
It really doesn't matter if she's an early reader or not, I just want her to have fun and I don't want anything I do or not do make her stop having fun with learning. But, I think as long as we keep it light and follow her lead, we'll be ok!
Thanks again everyone!
