I decided to start actively teaching my son to read from his second birthday, and I wanted to share my thinking and his progress along the way.

Just a fyi: your website is not readable on mobile. (At least not on my firefox/android) The text clips to the left. Desktop mode works though.

Thanks - I'm aware of that, unfortunately between my regular work and the childcare, I haven't had time to fix it. I'm basically off sick today, so I'll try and fix it up.

That was around when I was taught to read, and I think it was a significant advantage for school, career, and life. (in particular, I got into the habit of looking up stuff on my own before entering the educational system)

I recently read that Alan Kay was reading "fluently" (his words) by age three, and he attributes much of his success to this.

I share the same belief, but the other complicating factor is that my wife wants my son to learn Chinese. I wonder if the additional cognitive slog will offset any gains he makes with English. I guess that's a topic for another day, and I'll see how things play out over the next six months.
