The late literacy issue is a very interesting one. I think there is something to be said that different children are best ready to read at different ages. Supposedly in Finland they don't start school to learn to read until age 7 and their country is ranked #1 worldwide in education. Among unschooling circles, one hears about children who have no interest in reading until age 10, then suddenly learn to read and go on to be an english lit major at a reputable school or such. I believe I read that Jessica Watson, the Australian young woman who recently broke the record for youngest solo nonstop circumnavigation, learned to read at age 10.
