Question

Is it normal for a year old to take three weeks to read a book?
My year old son Cecil has spent three weeks reading Tolstoys Anna Karenina, and hes only on page . I regard this novel as Tolstoys finest work and young Cecil cannot even clearly explain its central themes. His essay on the first quarter of the book did not show clear insight into the thematic arc at all.

Answer

I can see your concern, weeks eh, still I dont suppose you can be too critical, after all it was in Russian and his essay written in the Namibian click language. However, it might be an idea to keep a close eye on his future work, cant have the lad turning out a bit of a duffer, if that happens of course, he will have to go to Oxford instead of Cambridge, god forbid.
