Wow! This is all so fascinating!

We never would have dreamed about teaching our kids to read at a very early age, either. In fact, DH and I used to say "Kids should just be doing play-type stuff before they're five, like stacking blocks and fingerpainting and coloring." Then our three-year-old told us he wanted to learn how to read, our two-year-old wanted to know everything about dinosaurs...and, well, you all know how it goes.
