Letters and Words

So along with Javin's Autism diagnosis, he was also diagnosed as having Hyperlexia. Hyperlexia is a precocious ability to read words, far beyond what would be expected at an early age and /or a
fascination with letters or numbers. Javin has had an obsession with letters since he was a year old and at about a year and a half he knew he alphabet. Well now we have realized that Javin can spell and read!! Wow! Only 3 years old and a reading machine!! As far as I know these are the words that he can spell and read:
CAR  PLANE  TRAIN  COW  DOG  CAT  SHEEP  ANT  FROG  BUG (His favortite word!!)  BEAR  DRUM  HORN  GUITAR (I know, right?? Crazy!)  TUBA  BOOK  DUCK  JAVIN  TENT  SLIDE  PIG  SHIP  TREE  BOAT  BED  BIRD  HORSE  BUS  CAKE  BEE
 
So 30 words as far as I know...pretty darn good! Sorry just needed a brag moment!!!
