I can read, but the comprehension from what I’ve just read is nearly impossible due to racing thoughts. Like read a paragraph 5 times and still be thinking about whether the neighbor has mowed yet and not remember what was read so I do it again. Wash, rinse, repeat when it comes to reading comprehension.

What age did you get your kid a tablet?

From a father of 4, just don't. Our youngest has a tablet, but it is only accessible when Grandma is around because it goes with Grandma when she leaves. But when the child has it, non-stop YouTube play commercials. Omfg.. if I have to listen to another 30 minute video of someone opening an obscene amount of consumer garbage...

My younger 3 kids a different approach was taken and they all had tablets at a very young age. We used them to play Minecraft together while distanced.

Read to your kids, every day. Make it a routine 10 minutes before bed. Those 2-3 years of nightly reading, before they start on their own, will turn into comprehensive skills.
