One thing I think helped is that he loved books from the very beginning. Anytime someone would come to visit, he would ask them to read him a book. Our daughter on the other hand is just now starting to find interest in books (she recently turned three). Therefore, she has been slower to pick things in that realm. But, she is also bi-lingual at three and our son did not start his bi-lingual skills till he was 7. So they each have their strengths. Our son picked up on the reading really well.

In it, each of the letter's sounds were highlighted in a cartoon type setting. Shortly after that he was saying his alphabet phonetically... blew our minds. He's been reading words now for a few months, but he doesn't have the focus to read a book from cover to cover yet. When our oldest was about 2.75years, we got him a Leap Frog DVD about letters.
