Hi I am new to this board
Reading about hyperlexia brings back fond memories. I started reading when I was about 3 or 4 I guess. My mother bought a subscription to Reader's Digest magazine and when it arrived I would read it from cover to cover right away. When I was in grade 6 or 7 my mother bought a set of encyclopedia (this was the 70's) and I started with page 1 of the "A" book and read pretty much the whole series over the space of a year or two. I didn't always understand or remember what I had read (particularly when it came to the medical words) but it seemed like a fun thing to do at the time.

Same here. I was so young when I started reading that I do not remember learning how to. I just remember being able to read. The first books I ever remember reading were C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia, though I read Charlotte's Web aloud to my grandmother in kindergarten and she totally freaked out. And apparently I also read the Little House on the Prarie books, but thought they were boring...
No problem for the information. I like to do research online (or in the school library) as often as I can. If you haven't come across this website already: http://www.hyperlexia.org/, it is a good site for some basic information.
