Why You Shouldn't Teach Your 4 Year Old To Read

So, I'm discovering that there is a massive down side to teaching a 4 year old to read! We can no longer spell things to hide information from him... And he and I were in a public bathroom the other day when he read "Please do not flush sanitary napkins." That led to the fabulous question, "What is a sanitary napkin?" Oh joy...

  1. Interestingly, even though Anna is a great reader, we can still spell away. She cannot quickly convert the spelled word into a written word in her head, and loses letters before she gets to her magnetic pad. LOL on the second point - we definitely have a lot of that :)

  3. There's also the dangers of what's written on bathroom walls by silly teenagers and immature others.......
