Yeah, I was able to read at 3, my parents put flash cards on everything, which I may do as well so they can't go into a room without seeing words.
my biggest concern is that the school is requiring them to have some sort of ability to read simple words before being allowed in Kindergarten (which I've never heard of before and sounds crazy). This is a public school, not private.
It's gonna be tough, I just wanted to get a feel for what others have done with their kids.
My own son has cerebral palsy and has the ability to pick out words and letters but can't talk/sign/walk, and doesn't have the attention span to sit still with a book unless hes litterally trying to eat it. he's going to be 5. It's very different teaching between the two, and interesting at the same time.
