[quote=Anonymous]I had one very early reader (3) and one totally on time reader (5). We read every day to them, took them to the library a ton, and did not pressure them. They went to play based preschools that enforced letters and numbers, but did not have formal reading instruction. Both still love to read and choose to do it often (one boy, one girl) and I attribute that to never forcing them to read and limiting screens in our homes during the school week. It’s also nature—we got lucky that it did click for them quickly so we didn’t have to force practice for school. I worry that the system of education ad it’s structured these days means that kids are forced to learn too early and it’s fine for the kids like mine who it came easily for, but it’s detrimental for those kids who it clicks later on in 1st or even 2nd grade, but by then their self esteem has been affected, even though they are just as bright and capable.[/quote]
