I read LOTR when I was in the 6th grade. So it really surprised my mother when they put me in low average reading! She had me tested and found out that I read at a "greater than 12th grade" level, whatever that means. Needless to say, she raised a stink and had me placed in advanced reading and I flourished.

My eldest (homeschooled) jedi seems to be following in my footsteps. He began reading shortly after he turned three. I am now reading The Fellowship of the Ring to him and he hangs on my every word. He's six years old.

LOL!! I remember the first two weeks in first grade I refused to read the Dick and Jane books. The teacher requested a meeting with my parents. She wanted to put me in LD(Learning Disabled, and yes here in NC they actually called it that, talk about a shot in the arm of cofindence) I had been reading the newspaper since I turned five. Should have seen the teacher's face as I read the front page of the paper at the parent/teacher conference

My eldest (homeschooled) six-year-old used to have trouble falling asleep at bed time until I began reading "The Fellowship of the Ring." Now she's asleep within seconds ;o)
