[quote=Anonymous]I'm just curious: Reading is something we do with our kids every day (ages 2 and 5). Both kids pick up books on their own as part of their regular self-directed playtime routine. The school does not assign reading or any other homework to my kindergarten child. Next year, in a new school, I assume that reading will be an assignment, as in "20 minutes a day" or something like that. Can I ask, what happens when something your child typically does on their own or with you becomes an assignment? Does it impact their interest or willingness to do it? How do you approach reading assignments with a child who already reads as part of their everyday thing? My inclination is to ignore the directive as an assignment and just keep plugging on as we always do. Maybe mention it, like, "Oh, the school says children should be reading every day. You already so that, so let's see now what they say about maths." [/quote]
