[quote=Anonymous]I have an August birthday boy whom we were pretty set on starting on time in K this Fall. I'm starting to have second thoughts because he has difficultly focusing and has zero interest in reading and cannot sound out words to save his life. Now, I don't care that he isn't reading yet (I've read all the stuff on how early literacy can be harmful) but I wonder if this is a sign that he is not ready for K this Fall. We are in-bounds for Janney, if that matters. By definition, he will be on the young side for K with an August birthday, but will he be THAT much younger that it will be hard for him to keep up? I worry that in such a large class, he will just get lost in the shuffle (and he's proven to be good at flying under the radar in his large Montessori preschool class). It just seems like he will be really old to start K as a 6 year old.[/quote]
