[quote=Anonymous]Dr Seuss poster here and I'm a little confused as to why this is so "inappropriate" - and perhaps I'm naive since my kid learned these things without an intentional teaching on our part, or memorization drills, so maybe you can give me more context -

but PK3 is made up of incoming 3 yos who turn 4 by the end of the year, right? Don't most of them already recognize the vast majority of the letters of the alphabet, even if they can't name each & every one? And recognizing numbers 1 through 10 is just a matter of recognition - if you've been reading number books for years, then you would be able to sight recognize most of them by age 4, right? I understand that reliably counting up to ten objects is more complicated and may take more time, but that's not what OP described.

I would expect that the vast majority of kids who've had circle time at preschool and/or story time with the parents on a daily basis from age 2 would be able to recognize letters & the first few numbers by the time they turn four. We're talking about kids who've been attending preschool. We're not talking about kids who've had no exposure to books.  [/quote]
