One of my kids was reading 500 page novels (not difficuly ones, but, like, later Harry Potter books) before 2nd grade. Another will be lucky to do that by 4th grade (which would still be “early”). The kids track themselves and there’s little school can do to speed them up. They can sure slow them down, though—our earlier reader regressed for most of kindergarten.
