63. that explains it
Before my son was even two and before he could read, he could go the video shelf (we had about 400 at the time) and pick out any video you asked him for by "reading" the label. I've always thought it was word recognition as opposed to actual phonetic reading of the words, and you have finally explained to me that my theory was correct.
