Are you sure they were 1/2-year-olds? Even learning to read at 3 is remarkably early, although some kids do.

- lern_too_spel 3y agoI have seen a 1 year old seeing a drawing and then correctly tapping the three letter CVC word (among four CVC words) that matches enough times in a row that I could reject the null hypothesis with near certainty. I have seen 2 year olds who had learned to verbally sound out words in games transfer that ability to read entire sentences and short books.
- harperlee 3y agoTo add to your point, albeit from memory, I read here some time ago on the topic of losing the diaper at 12 months, and one technique discussed was to introduce hand signals, as communication ability of kids comes /way/ earlier than the mouth coordination required to talk. So it stands to reason that if you don’t require the kid to read /aloud/, reading as pattern recognition can come earlier.
