Indeed. Smile I would like to see if being able to read that is linked to learning other languages and musical instruments easier. It applies to me, so perhaps there is a connection?
Oh, and a question: did you, or did you not, get the idea to post this because of the shoutbox? Tongue

I found it amazing reading to children how much we don't actually read but rely on memory for. Same with maths, it's more a memory game than raw computational power with a hell of a lot of it.

That is a possibility, but each musical instrument is different.

It was my understanding that anyone can read it as well. I've yet to find a person that couldn't unless he or she was dyslectic.
