From a PBS Parents site, describing 2-3 year olds:
"May become familiar with the A-B-C song and sing it, but without knowing that the letter names recited label individual graphic designs. By the end of this year, some children (20%) recognize and label a few letters, especially the first letter in their own name, and perhaps other letters in their name. By the end of this year, many children (70%) do not know the names of any letters. Also by the end of this year, a few children (10%) know most uppercase letters."
We think that, conservatively, Morgan is naming 22 letters consistently, and can identify, if given the name, all 26. She will be 2 in February.
Maybe we are just perpetuating a stereotype about kids with glasses. . .

It's funny because Taylor's mom is always amazed with what Hannah can do based on the "norms" statistics she knows (although, she does teach special-ed pre-school and is used to kids who are slow ;-) ). I think a lot of them are quite conservative. Hannah learned the entire upper-case alphabet between 17 and 19 months. Of course our little girls have exceptional parents too! That's got to help, right?
