Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Pre-school She's starting to read

Before my daughter was first starting to read, she would do a pretend read. She was very good at it becuase she would make up stories. I just went right along with this. Then she began to memorize the books. My favorite memory is Silly Sally went to town. That was so cute. She was able to read before K. Now she is reading 2yrs up in 1st Grade. I'm so proud of her. Reading just opens up a whole new world to kids!

It neat how kids can be so different. My son could sit thru Dr. Suess books as an infant. My DD would not. My DD would make up stories about pictures in books but my son really had a hard time with it. I'm enjoying the flashback. Thanks for sharing.
