My nephew is about to turn 2 and loves to "read." He's the usual kind of toddler -- can't sit still. The only exception: He will voluntarily grab a book and sit himself quietly in your lap so you can read to him. He'll listen intently and grab a new one each time you finish, till he goes through a stack of books. He's able to "read" multiple-syllable words now, though it's probably more memorization / picture association at this point. We're encouraging his interest in books, of course, but trying to limit his exposure to e-books. We don't want him to get hooked on gadgets rather than reading at such a young age, when picture books are necessary.
