my three year old (just this week, 4) had somehow learned to read on his own (he is on the spectrum). He seem to have picked up both sight reading and phonics as best as I can tell. He will try to sound out the word sometimes, but largely just looks at the word. If it’s big word a
, like “awesomeness”, he will try to sound it out, at least a bit.
The Dr Seuss books are a piece of cake and he could read them at 3 1/2.
