		<description>Hi Alexis, 

My daughter also started reading very young and now at almost 8 she devours any book we get for her (usually within days). 

She loves to write stories (the wilder the better) and coincidentally enjoys listening to some of my Dan Kennedy tapes. 

So kudos to your daughter for her efforts and to you as well for showing her.

And although it&#039;s a bit early, Happy Mother&#039;s Day. 

Thanks for the great information, 
Andy</description>

		<description>Hi Daryl,

My dad told me that I was reading the newspaper at the age of 5. Quite frankly I don&#039;t remember it! But he swears I was reading at a very early age. Coincidentally he was also a published poet. That was part of the incentive to help my daughter read and write early on. 

In any case, I can&#039;t recommend it enough. It&#039;s such an empowering skill to have.

		<description>Hey Alexis.

One thing i vividly remember as a child was sitting down with my grandma and learning how to read and write at the dinner table after we ate. Later on in my childhood if I asked what a word meant my father would tell me &quot;look it up&quot; and that way I always remembered it. 
Learning to write at a young age has stood me in good steed throughout my whole life. Now I&#039;m starting to publish my own work, I&#039;ve started to feel a sense of accomplishment and freedom that I&#039;m so proud of. Especially making an income... it just gets better. God bless grandma is all I can say! yay!</description>
