[quote=Anonymous]Parent of an early reader here: It's not you, its them. I guess it really bothers other parents. My DS (now in college) started reading at age 3. Really reading. Blew through chapter books in K and so on. It got bigger and bigger. But he was a smart little kid and told the K teacher (from h3!!) that he could not read b/c he wanted to sit next to the cool guy. I called the K teacher when he was reading books he finished in preschool and asked her. She gave me a load of reading comprehension BS. He knew the material. As the grades went past he kept pulling ahead. Finding great school for him was an increasing challenge, and now he is at an Ivy. But back to the beginning -- people hate it for some reason. We covered it up, and met other parents like us -- they are around, b/c many smart kids living in this area. GL..[/quote]
