[quote=Anonymous]And please know the research really supports this not being helpful. There are some kids that just learn to read early pretty naturally. There are various reasons for this. But most kids aren't ready until 5-6 and there are actually major cons to pushing a kid who isn't ready because they will start to be frustrated. I don't even push my 5 year old kindergartener. This weekend he was interested in trying out some decoding books, we had fun doing it. Then yesterday I asked if he wanted to do it and he said no can you please just read to me. So I did. in a few days I'm sure he'll be ready to try again. But it really can do harm to push kids when they are learning too early.[/quote]
