No it is not normal. I keep getting reminded of this by our children's librarian. DD is 2.7 and is starting to sound out words and knows some site words....I don't doubt she will be reading by 3. She has known letters and there sounds for awhile now....I got a reality check when my mom who works for a school sent me the end of year skills for K....currently DD has over 3/4 of them mastered....and here she could not start K till she is 5.5 so almost 3 years away....which is extreamly frightening to me. I plan on observing a K class soon, just to get a feel as well. It definitly reading on here, kind of makes you feel it is not as rare because everyone on here child is doing something similar. However, this is the minority
