[quote=Anonymous]I've never been overly concerned with my DD's ability to read sight words or write out letters, thinking that she'll show interest once her classmates and school time focus on these things more intently.  But learned from DD's pre K teachers that many of her classmates - most of her classmates - are writing letters fairly well and many are actually reading sight words, upwards of 50 or so according to DD's teachers.

She is still in pre-K so I'm trying not to stress, but DD shows absolutely no interest in these things.  She does love books and enjoys being read to and "reading" (she can spend hours looking at books and creating a narrative for what's on the page).  But we try and encourage writing and sight words at home and it's of no interest and DH and I don't want to force it.

Reassure me that this isn't an issue.  I'm no tiger mom, just concerned that DD is ready for kindergarten.  Also sort of sad that she doesn't seem to have the curiosity to learn to write and actually read at this point (I remember being thrilled to learn my letters, etc). [/quote]
