Reading
After a lot of experience with word-based reading that follows the phonetic rules (including phonograms), children are ready to move onto reading non-phonetic words. This is where you can really guide and encourage them to develop their interests into fields of inquiry. This may happen anywhere from age 4 to 8 but age ranges are highly variable and developmental education follows the child, not their birth date.
