My daughter started reading around age 3. She graduated college last year with a degree in Nursing.
My elder granddaughter is an RN, too. BSRN Degree from Penn State. When she was 3 yrs old and in daycare at a lady’s home, I purchased a set of HOOKED ON PHONICS lessons and gifted it to the lady. So a bunch of kids besides my granddaughter learned to read by phonics in the years before that lady retired.
