DD is 4.2 and has been asking how to write letters with much enthusiasm. I assume she'll be enthusiastic about learning to read at some point too, but I was just wondering if that's the usual way round. For some reason I thought reading comes first.
There's no rush as she doesn't start reception until next Sep and I'd like her to take the lead when she is ready. We read books together nightly which she really enjoys but she hasn't really shown any signs of wanting to decode words (if that's even how an interest develops, am a bit clueless about this sort of thing...)
