Sorry, I wasn’t trying to suggest that your parents specifically were prioritizing reading above any other goal, but only (in response to ddrdrck_) that I believe it would be possible for the vast majority of parents and kids to get a kid reading simple books by about age 3 if the parents were willing to do so.

Thanks for the elaboration. I enjoyed reading about your experience.

ddrdrck_: If you are reading to your daughter for >1 hour every day, she’s going to come out way ahead on language skills whether or not she can read by age 4 or not.
