We read to her every night - one bible story and two story books. Reading her Wind in the Willows right now.
She has issues - she can read and write BACKWARDS as easily as forwards...and gets them mixed up! Very disconcerting...
Also she refuses to let us teach her - has to be a school a teacher.

Oh, she's just getting started! :-)

"She has issues - she can read and write BACKWARDS as easily as forwards..."

That is NOT an issue, that is a GIFT my friend...it will serve her well throughout her life! Be glad!

BTW each of ours gets 3 Bible stories a night. My daughter knows more about the Bible than her Religious Ed teacher :-)

Actually, reading and writing backwards is VERY normal, although it is disconcerting. At this age a fairly large percentage of children will do this, as they are beginning to understand words, sounds, and basic grammar, but don't understand structure yet. Just wait until they write words backwards to the point where they look perfect when held up to a mirror. THAT'S disturbing (but still normal)

Redrum... Redrum.....

(unfortunately, there is no backwards font)

Wow! Don't our kids amaze us! I also read to my kids a lot. So I suppose I can take a credit for that at least.
