[quote=Anonymous]I've been though this twice. Once with a kid that was reading chapter books and writing sentences and once with a kid that was barely reading and writing. I would say the minimum to know is: - how to listen and follow directions - ability to sit on carpet for 15-30 minutes and listen to teacher - how to interact appropriatelly socially with other kids - know all letters, letter sounds and reading simple words (sounding out cat, dog), - able to write name and all letters - able to write out simple words - recognize numbers 1-20 Knowing less is fine but be ready for potentially hearing from your child that they are slow and not as smart as the other kids. Its not a big deal to prop your kid up after this but it might happen. There is a HUGE range from kids like my one child that could do 2nd grade work going in to others that don't speak english and don't know any letters or numbers. This is for non-red zone school in QO district. [/quote]
