[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He can’t read at all and it’s February of Kindergarten? That would concern me. I wouldn’t be rushing to immersion.[/quote]

+1.  Your kid isn’t reading English yet.  You want to put him in an immersion program in one of the hardest languages to learn in 1st?  Don’t the programs start in K so he would already be behind? Lastly, the teacher doesn’t recommend him for the program.

I think it’s a bad idea. [/quote]

Sorry to be obtuse, are kids reading in kindergarten? What they seem to be covering in school now is sight words. They have covered 20 - I don’t get a book like another parent mentioned (that would be awesome lol), I had to go through all the class newsletters and compile a list. DS can read 10 of the 20 words. To me that seems normal because memorizing site words is boring. I just started working on those when the teacher told me she wouldn’t recommend him this week, I’m sure I can get him up to speed in a few weeks. As far as I l know they haven’t covered phonics other than letter sounds, which he knew before he went to kindergarten. [/quote]
