Is it quite common? My DS is 2.2 and has a favourite cartoon (Curious George) in which the name of the episode is shown on white background before it starts. Recently DS has started saying words about the episode before it starts after/whilst just seeing the name. E.g an episode might be called 'Rocket-ride' and DS would say Rocket, fly etc. He's done this with 5 different episodes so far and the only way I can explain it is that he recognises the words in the episode title and knows what's coming. I wouldn't obviously call it reading, but something like it. Do other toddlers do this and should I encourage it somehow?
