[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, I love these reading panic threads. I didn’t learn to read until I was 7 or 8 (second grade). According to my mother, I wasn’t interested and they didn’t push it. Fast forward 10 years, got perfect scores on the reading and writing sections of the SAT with no prep. Always in advanced reading classes. Early literacy just doesn’t matter. Other countries don’t stress about this the way we do.[/quote]

OP is not concerned that their child cannot read. They are concerned that the [b]child cannot recognize letters[/b] after a couple of years of frequent exposure. Most 4 year olds with exposure to letters can recognize some by that age. Maybe they are just not interested, or maybe they are experiencing a challenge that can be addressed early. While it is stressful as a parent to worry about these issues, early intervention is better in the long term.[/quote]

You know that children learn the sounds before they learn the letters, right? This is basic pedagogy - ask your child's PreK teacher. If they don't know this, then there is your issue.[/quote]
