Irish Twins: started late but zoomed through with success

While we often hear about parents starting kids on Sagebooks super early at around 2.5 years old, what people don’t tell you is how much longer it takes when you start that young. Many children are not developmentally ready or mature enough to sit still, attach symbols to meanings, or can even make the appropriate sounds out of their mouths let alone go through Sagebooks with any sort of speed.

We rarely hear of parents who start their kids much older but the truth is, it often goes SO much faster and therefore, much easier on the parents. This week’s Parent Spotlight is Irish Twins and she started her daughter on Sagebooks at a later age than many of our parents. It paid off because developmentally, her daughter was more equipped to grasp and remember abstract as well as tangible characters. As a result, she blazed through the entire set in about 1/5th of the time it normally takes.
