I was a ...I'm not sure I'm buying this explanation. I was a somewhat precocious reader (5 yrs in first grade)and I had good comprehension right from the get-go of reading. I didn't lose my first tooth until I was in the fifth grade (11 yrs). I was an excellent and voracious reader starting at age 5. I didn't lose my last tooth until I was 18 and had to pull it myself or the orthodontist wouldn't remove my braces. <BR/>My mother was slow to lose her teeth as well (but was also reading by age 6), and my children are showing the same tendency, getting their first teeth months after other children. We'll see how reading comes along, and I certainly won't push them, but I doubt it will have anything to do with when they lose their milk teeth.LeosMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703654190917515775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220008146403489286.post-25072316205172801332007-03-01T06:12:00.000-08:002007-03-01T06:12:00.000-08:00Definitely food for thought.

I shall keep my eyes open for a correlation when my son starts to lose teeth. <BR/>In the meantime I shall read, read, read, cos I enjoy it just as much as my oldest son does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220008146403489286.post-78774281431255870222007-02-27T10:57:00.000-08:002007-02-27T10:57:00.000-08:00Fascinating!

But, alas, we are past that stage and my memory is wretched.Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619566335420317942noreply@blogger.com
