I have a 1st grader, so I imagine she is in the midst of this. I am impressed with how well she can read. I don't remember learning to read as early as she has.

Same. We also have a first grader and she's reading really well. We've started phonics with her two younger sisters as well to get them a head start on reading and they're doing great with letter recognition and sounds. Can't believe we ever moved away from phonics-based learning.

You couldn't read in first grade?

How'd you get her interested. I have a PK4 kid that loves the idea of reading and plays around with the sight words; but doesn't seem to want to put the two thoughts together and actually work on reading. At least not at home, teachers say she's doing great, but I don't know what metric they are comparing her to.

I taught all four of my kids to read before their fourth birthdays, and when I tell you it was easy I mean REALLY easy. It took about five minutes per night for about four weeks. After that they could read any simple word like “hat” or “rabbit”; they could red words with long vowels like “feat”; and they knew about five or six sight words like “a”, “the” and “was”. Basically reading on about a second grade level. Of course I used phonics like anyone with a brain would.
