[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our child is starting K at a school that we've been told is really academically rigorous. Our child is not reading yet, and I'm a little concerned about being sent to pre-first. I've heard they make those decisions by December. At the risk of being ridiculous, I'm considering getting a reading tutor to give our child a little head start on learning to read before school starts. I know lots of kids are already reading when they start K . . .  If not for the risk of having to do an extra year before first grade, I wouldn't worry about it. Good idea?[/quote]

If your kid is born in March or later, he/she will be going to pre first.   If he's he has a birthday Janauray or later, they will be going to pre first.  A reading tutor will not change anything.    Baltimore private like their kids old, that is why pre-first exists.  If you fight it, your kid will be in a class room with kids 18 months older, all of whom are smart.   [/quote]

Pp, second sentence should say, and if they are socially immature,,they will be going to pre-first.[/quote]
