I’ve had a strong emotional reaction to this claim of being able to teach any 2y/o to read at a 2nd grade level. I support pursuing incredible things but don’t understand how you can believe in the heritability of iq and this, too. How much of these results are selection effects?

I did a course on development during my psych degree and it was learning about what is the appropriate age to learn XYZ There are physical limitations like the standard 2 yr olds tongue is not physically developed yet so they can’t talk I would be interested to know how they overcome some of these limitations

Well ok. In honesty I was this early reader, which also adds bias to my view. my mom told me that as a a pre verbal baby if someone went to read to me and the book was upside down, I would “fix it”. I don’t know, however, how you transform that into an edu approach. I believe reading is my God given gift 😬

You’re a talented baby and reading is your god given gift!!! In the context of reading, kids tend to learn how to comprehend (and sometimes read) before they learn how to speak. It’s an absurd amount of difference, like comprehending 200-300 words before being able to speak 20. So not unusual 😊
