My 4-year-old grandson is reading, partly due to hooked on phonics. He knew the alphabet by age 2, mainly learned on his own. My daughter lets him watch a lot of educational TV when she has an assignment due so he picked it up by himself. He’s into numbers now....she gave him a Kit Kat candy bar last week and when he opened it, he exclaimed, “Oh, an eleven!” He’s so funny.
