Your question seems to assume that all six-year-old children are just alike, and all children will read at the same time, learn to walk at the same time, learn to talk at the same time, etc. The truth is that all children are not alike, and they do not develop at the same rate. There are many factors involved in development that make Jane develop faster than Sue. The brain is one of the primary factors involved in development of the human body. Birth defects may not manifest themselves immediately at birth, and issues of brain damage can reveal themselves as late as six years later when the child is learning to read. Intelligence is another factor that plays a major role in how fast or slow the child learns to read. A child who is home-schooled may begin reading at an earlier age than a child who waits to enter Kindergarten or the first grade. Motor skills are another factor in the child's development and play only a minor role when learning to read, but play a major role when learning to walk and talk. Motor skills are crucial to a child interested in athletics. I have seen children reading at ages 4 and 5 who are not geniuses, but who have parents that are very attentive and loving, and they provide an environment that is conducive to learning and intellectual activities. There are many factors that play a role in the development of a child, whether positively or negatively. If you started teaching your child to read as soon as the child could pay attention long enough to learn, quite possibly your three- or four-year-old would be able to read simple, basic Children's Books. Honestly, most children cannot focus their attention long enough to read because they have been trained on the Television! They grow up believing the TV is their lifeline to the world. Sadly, they get that idea from their parents, who think the same thing. If they would only turn the TV off, and leave it off all the time, they would discover life everywhere. And those little ones who are sponges of learning until their teens.... Cathy Williams

Could my 10 year old daughter read all the Twilight series cause she's really into them but I'm not sure if they are appropriate for her?

The book is quite sexual in the last two books, Eclipseand Breaking Dawn. If you have gone over sexual things with your daughter, and she understands it, you should let her read the books. Violent can not come to a reader, and there is no age limit for books, just movies. I personally think that your 10 year old daughter should be able to read all the books because there is nothing wrong with them.Here are suggestions from WikiAnswers contributors:* I think that it would be find for your 10 year old daughter to read. I don't think they are too inappropriate for a 10 year old, because when your reading, violence doesn't come through to the reader. * She should be able to read Twilight and New Moon, but not really Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. I read them and I'm 13, and it kinda grossed me out. But if your daughter likes to read about fairy tale characters, she should be able to read the books, they are really good and I love them to bits!
