There is at least one theory that says when kids learn to read later in life, they don't develop that skill the same way younger readers do. That is, the process for reading as the brain ages is more complex and less fluent for those who learn at 6 versus those who learn at 2.
"I even think that it’s really wrong for parents to ever try to push reading before 5," says Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at UCLA.
