[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]For reading your child is probably toward the lower end of the pack.[/b] She'll benefit from the reading and writing. They really expect them to be able to read and write well by 1st grade. For math, thanks to 2.0 your child will be bored to tears. Single digit addition and subtraction occurs not only through the whole year in 1st grade but a good portion of 2nd grade. You get double digit introduced mid year in 2nd grade. I hear it gets repeated again in 3rd grade. Math is pathetic in MCPS.[/quote]

Knows many sight words and can sound out words, and will be at the lower end of the pack in kindergarten?  Maybe you're thinking first grade.

OP, your child will be placed in a guided reading group of students with a similar level.  Even if she were the top in her grade, it won't be mostly a review of skills--she will be expected to make progress from where she starts.[/quote]

Agree with 12:58.  Have a kid in pre-K and a kid in elementary.  Most of the kids in my DD's pre-K class are able to read reasonably well - know sight words, able to sound out easy words.  (I think it's pretty impressive, since my DD is still working on that!).[/quote]
