[quote=Anonymous]Neither of my kids could read at the start of K. We did play-based preschool. However, firstborn was reading at a 3rd grade level by the end of K (June of K year) and is now in an advanced reading group in 2nd grade. Second born--currently in K--is reading tiny starter books but recognizing new words and spelling correctly at an amazing pace. Some kids are coached and go to academic preschools, do Kumon, etc. They aren't smarter--just being introduced to concepts at an earlier age. It is not indicative of their future rankings. Some kids (a very minute few) pick it up completely on their own without a preschool or parent teaching reading to them. Schools handle it just fine. They give different type books to different abilities. We have a reading teacher that works with each K kid in the class. It is amazing how it evens out by the end of the year.[/quote]
