Re: Yah, I was a bit like your niece DomA Send a noteboard - 20/04/2012 11:48:12 PM
My mom never actually taught me to read...I just figured it out on my own and surprised my mother with it :P


Similar to what I did too, according to my mom.

I never had the opportunity to learn with french and english, though. Your niece stands to be in a wonderful place for that :)


Not as much as she could. They don't intend to let her read in English too early. They don't mind her learning spoken English early, but she might have to wait fourth grade to learn to read English like everybody else. It's a debate in our education circles in recent years.

I double checked. I was confusing it with another event. I was about 2.5 *NM* LadyLorraine - 22/04/2012 12:19:09 AM 827 Views

Doesn't need to be an extended period of time, though. A few minutes is enough at the beginning. Rebekah - 23/04/2012 12:42:23 PM 1592 Views

If there was a big ad campaign in the UK about this then no-one told my medical team. Rebekah - 26/04/2012 07:40:48 PM 1399 Views
