[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child in private K went in knowing her ABCs and a handful of sight words and that’s it. She is now sounding out words well with a phonics-based approach and reading fairly well. My neighbor’s kid in public K who comes over a lot had about the same level of preparedness is not able to sound out words and kind of guesses. This child is not SN or anything, it’s quite possible they are naturally more intelligent than my child, but they are simply not being taught the right techniques. I think many of the people who are happy with public are either putting in a lot of effort themselves at home or else sending to Kumon.[/quote] I have known families who were required to have their child repeat kindergarten when switching from public school to Catholic school because the kids were already lagging behind.[/quote]
