My son was not an early reader like so many here - he knew a few simple words before K, but wasn't reading as such. In K, he totally took off with the reading - he is now in 1st (for a couple more weeks - where DID the year go ??) - his reading/comprehension are at least a 5th grade level. Funny thing is - through this school year, his main failing was his comprehension, even on grade level stuff. Until we told him he was supposed to actually take note of what he was reading - since then, he's doing fine. He's in the process of being tested to see if he's gifted or not - it'll be interesting to see how he did
