A parent shares the exciting milestone of their 2-year-8-month-old daughter reading her first complete book independently using the Little Reader Deluxe series. The thread is filled with community congratulations and encouragement for other parents to remain patient during the learning process.
The original poster also notes the importance of continuing input without testing the child immediately after the breakthrough.
