[quote=Anonymous]I can't speak to specific schools (don't live in VA), but I recommend you find an accredited AMS or AMI Montessori school. There are lots of places that call themselves Montessori but actually aren't. When they start teaching reading/pre-reading schools really depends on the child more than the school. Kids move at their own pace and some are not ready or interested while others are. This isn't something a good teacher will push if the child is not ready. That said, phonemic awareness is baked into daily activities even for 2 year olds. ("If your name starts with an S sound, you can go wash your hands.") It's fairly common for kids to be fluent readers at age 4 in some schools: the problem then is that the parents of kids who aren't doing that get upset, which isn't fair to their own child. [/quote]
