I wish I'd seen it... 
these things fascinate me... I know there was a study done on this years ago... apparently children can't consciously read before the age of 3/4. Thats to say read and then recite the story back...ie comprehension of what they have read. However, they can be taught to recognise words, and shapes so that they associate a name to the "shape" which happens to be a word..ergo reading... However, show a coca-cola, Disney, or McDonalds name to a child of 2/3, they will be able to consciously "read" it and understand what it means and that is just through excessive advertising....thats just scary.
Squig - they had a little girl on 2 1/2 years and she was reading a story and it was something like:
I said I wanted a teddy and mummy said no
I said I wanted sweeties and mummy said no
I said I wanted a c uddle and mummy said yes
When she was saying the no bit she had a sad face then when she got to mummy said yess bit she got all excited so I thought she really understood what she read, but maybe she just recognised the yes and no bit
