There are great systems available out there designed to help children learn at younger ages, hooked on phonics, baby can read. I believe one of the most, if not the most important things you can give your child is an education. To invest money into a learning system to help your child get ahead of the crowd would be a worthy investment, you may never spend a more productive dollar(or dollars), in your life???

Some kids have 0 interest in reading or writing. Try making it fun, a game or a challenge and see if she shows interests as long as it's a game. That should let you know what her interest level is. Have her write out her ABC's and see how many letters are backwards.

I have a lot of training and experience with preschool kids. In my classes i learned that children learn by play and also that young children did not need pencils or drill.
My relatives have not had the same training. they think my grandaughter needs drill. they think she's not bright.
colleen: yes, she's active and curious. she's funny and loud and fun to be with.
tommyh: yes, she will learn at her own pace.
If there's a problem we'll learn in time.
It's strange that I had to come to my computer friends to learn (what I already knew)

thanks colleen. I'll give that a try. Her mom is a teacher but I don't think she's tried that.
