[quote=Anonymous]K is when kids are supposed to start learning how to read and do basic math. If they already know basic math and reading before K, that’s liable to cause other problems. This post reminds me of the worries my youngest daughter (now grown) had about math before starting K, even though she actually did have some basic math before K. When she started K and they were doing things like sorting shapes into patterns, she asked us why there wasn’t any math. We had to explain to her that the patterns were the math for K. The main thing I’d be concerned about is making sure she gets phonics. While MCPS has always claimed to teach phonics, the old curriculum was not phonics based. They’ve since changed curriculums, and hopefully this one is better, but I don’t know the content. You want to make sure that as your niece is learning to read, she learns how to sound out words and uses that technique as her primary approach to reading unfamiliar words. [/quote]
