It really doesn't matter when they learn to read, but that they develop the love of reading. Someone that doesn't read is as good off as someone that doesn't read.

Then I forced my dd to have reading instruction and it has been disastrous. Trust in the Lord, expose your kids to literature and other forms and of writing and hope that they get it. We're still working on stuff that I introduced a year ago. It's like potty training, just wait until they are truly ready and show an interest and it will take a lot less time and tears!! My son will not be getting any formal reading instruction until he truly shows an interest and excitement about it. Hopefully, he won't be ten when he decides this!
