Remedial reading for baby bikie

[Motu]

No problems with my kids reading - our weekly trip to the library sees each kid taking in a cube box,and coming out with it overflowing.My eldest daughter was reading a 3,at four she was able to read The Hobbit by herself,not only was her reading advanced,but her concepts were too....in hindsight I don't think it was a good thing her reading so early.My 2nd daughter was slow at picking it up,just to balance things out.But at 7 she just took off and in a couple of weeks was up to her age group,well beyond a couple of weeks after that.

The boys have been more normal,the standard 5 years old.They have had a computer for most of their life,but it doesn't seem to have stopped them reading.All my kids have been home educated too - how did we teach them to read so well ?

On their father's knee....

Hear, hear! Spending time with them like this can only be good! I'm very pleased to see my son-in-law reading to our Grandson from only a couple months old! Little Aston just loves it! When I was younger, of course we didn't have even a TV, let alone what we have today! Only had the old valve radio and books! I read everything and anything that had words on it! If we weren't outside playing or working we were playing the piano, singing or reading!

Used to spend hours with my kids on my knee reading to them and as they learned to read, listening to them. I reckon it's one reason we're so close now that they've all grown up, too!
