My younger brother literally learned letters so he could type the DOS commands that would launch the games we had on our family PC. This would have been 1993 and he was 5. Guess who now has a successful career in IT?
My brother also learned to read so that he could use the computer. And I learned to type on IRC.
My step-son has been downright reading-averse since forever. During lockdowns and school-from-home, we got him to read by p laying Paper Mario games. He’s since grown into Zelda games and no longer fights words on the screen.
Literally any reading practise helps.
My kid is big on gaming and we always had the subtitles on when watching TV (due to my bad hearing)
They were reading fluently before they were 4. May just be a coninsidence ofc.
This is how I learned English when I was 7 or 8. Baldur’s Gate made little sense without it so I just had to.
Wholesome
