So a few months ago, I thought Riley read the word "blue" = "boo" in his Truck book Aunt Talana Banana got him for his birthday last year, but he didn't repeat it so I figured it was a fluke.
Well much to Kelly and my amazement - we learned on our trip to Maryland our baby can in fact read!! It's crazy! I'm going to make a video of it here soon.
We have a magna doodle we bought for our trip to Maryland to distract him with on the plane and in doing that Kelly wrote the word car on the screen, and Riley said 'Caaaarrrr' as if he's from Boston. Then Kelly wrote Shoe and he read that too! We snapped our heads and looked at each other! It was CRAZY! He can read Car, Pig, Bee, Ball, Shoe...that's all I can think of right now. Dog...and he knows the letter some of them start with - he'll say 'P', Pig. Or 'B' Ball, which is how I think his Bear got the name "B".
Anyway, it's pretty amazing to see! Even on our trip, those videos were the only ones he would watch for any length of time too, so he still enjoys them.
With Kelly and my Dad both having dyslexia, I figure it can't hurt to give Riley a head start in that area.
Reading books is still one of his FAVORITE things too. He'll bring me a book, then turn around and plop right down in my lap.

I believe it for sure...I have had countless children that have come into first grade reading since they were 3. My older sister uses this same program with her preemie. Her mother n law heard fabulous things about it and bought her the whole thing. I love it ;-)
