I was just discussing this with another mom while waiting outside dance class. She asked if dd4 was trying to read, and I said, well she's got some sight words, and memorizes lots of books, but just doesn't seem to enjoy the books when we go at them in a 'lets learn to read' kind of way, so I don't really do much about it. She said she knows several other parents who say their kids are already reading at 4, but they don't seem to enjoy it~ I wondered what it would take to make a kid learn all that stuff if they weren't ready, and didn't enjoy it.
My kids seems more the sort to have interests above their ages, rather than outright ability to gather information on their own (read) at age 3, so I help them with that - answering questions about space, vocab., anatomy, flipping through books on the human body, etc.
