[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand kids learn at different rates and in different manners.  I was confused because I've not heard that before and I have heard from people who've been diagnosed with dyslexia before 2nd grade or had children diagnosed before 2nd grade.  It also seemed odd to categorically dismiss a common concern at the same time schools are essentially saying "your kid is going to fail 3rd grade SOLs if they don't leave K reading books with multiple sentences per page".  (Yes, I realize that is a slight exaggeration ... but not much of one).

I dunno who told you that last bit, but it is utter bs.  [/quote]

Principal of the school at Kindergarten orientation.  It was more like "I know we will pressure your kids but it's because we care about them.  When we set expectations high, it is because we're thinking ahead to the 3rd grade SOLs.  In order to do well then, they need to blah blah blah  ..." boiling down to "they have to be reading by the time they leave K".
