"Teaching" DD2 to read on the other hand is a breeze, it's just curious that she hasn't self started more given that she insisted on playing starfall until she knew the alphabet completely before she was 2. She loves to play word/sound games and has a great sense of rhyme. Her pre-reading skills are all there, and have been there for literally years. But she hasn't tipped over into reading on her own.
My son also knew the alphabet and what sounds each letter made at early 2 with great word/sound skills - and still he didn't read until end of kindy - mid 1st depending on how you define 'really reading.' I was very confused and worried - as he's my only LOL and I had time to worry! By end of first grade he was reading Harry Potter. I really think his visual system was just 'age-appropriate' even though he had the brainpower to figure reading out.
But oh! I took so much teasing for being worried about my 4 year old not reading words like 'exit' and 'quit' which he saw on the computer games quite often - sad to say!
Smiles,
