Scout,

I agree with you about early reading. My daughter is 36 now and I can't
remember how old she was when I gave her, "Hello God, it's Me Margret" I
think she was it the 3rd grade. She became a reader. She enjoyed going
to the book store as much as the Ice Cream Parlor. She breezied thru
school and college.

However, It sure as hell didn't help her spelling!!!
