Cameron didn't start reading at a particularly early age, but once he had it figured out, he REALLY had it figured out. He basically went from sounding out "cat" to reading chapter books in one night. There are a lot of really fantastic things about having a reader. But one of the best parts is watching Cameron read to Matthew.
Today, as I was gathering up scarves and mittens and snowpants and hats and boots to go outside, Cameron and Matthew sat together. Cameron was teaching Matthew to "read" the Lego magazine. "Okay, Matthew," he instructed. "Say 'Lego Agents 2.0."
"Wego Agents Two Poinoh!" repeated Matthew.
"Okay, now say, 'Agent Chase.'"
"Age in chase."
"Doctor Disaster."
"Awk awk dis AAAASTER!"
"No, that's not it Matthew. It's DOCTOR Disaster. Now try it again."
"Doc-toe Disaster."
"Good job! Now, let's try the Lego Power Miners Page."
With Cameron's help, I wouldn't be surprised if Matthew is an early reader. His choice of reading materials, however, may be a bit eclectic.

Aren't they funny! I love how Cameron has turned into a teacher, especially as Matthew is such a willing student.
