[quote=Anonymous]What is your goal? Is it early decoding, or do you care more about skills that matter long term like comprehension and writing? As a teacher, I see a pattern all the time where parents push early decoding, then boast about their early decoding, then reinforce their kid heavily for misbehavior they perceive as "bored" because they are "ahead" in Kindergarten, and end up with kid who are afraid to work hard, or show interest, or pursue rabbit trails and challenge themselves, because their parents have communicated that those things don't fit with the narrative of their kid being ahead. Yes, with some kids, they're going to learn to decode early, despite your efforts. One of mine is like that. But I can't figure out why a parent would try to create that situation. [/quote]
