I just found out that my 2 year old knows most of the sounds the letters make. I knew she could recognize them all, but today she started singing the annoying-but-effective Leap Frog song "The A says 'a'", so I decided to test her. She definitely knows the sounds that more than half the letters make. It caught me by surprise to find out how well she knows her letters and sounds.
My 5 year old is a very good reader (probably at about a grade 2 level), and she's been doing a great job teaching her sister! What a pity she can't start Kindergarten for over a year - she'd love to be going to school with her big sister!
