[quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn't have a birthday near the cutoff, so he went on time. But I mention it because of the PP who held her son back because she thought he was unprepared. My son was wayyy unprepared just as she described - no reading, not much writing, etc. But here's the thing, kids in kindergarten are all over the map. There are kids reading chapter books and kids who don't the alphabet. Holding your kids back only puts them at one end of that spectrum... but the reality is that there is a ton of catching up that happens in K and 1st grade. Both my kids learned to read "late" by Bethesda standards, and are now off the charts in terms of capability and love for reading. You don't have to hold your kid back to put them at the top of the class; they can get there on their own![/quote]
