[quote=Anonymous]In spite of what DCUMland would have you believe, most KGers are not reading when they start. He will be in the middle of the pack or even slightly ahead academically if he knows his letters & letter sounds, basic phonemic games (starting sounds, rhymes), numbers & basic counting, sorting, and patterning. He would be ahead if he starts K with beginning reading, skip counting, counting to 20+, etc. I would focus on academics only if that's a point of self-esteem for him or helps with behavior. It's honestly the being able to consistently listen, follow directions, keep hands to oneself, etcetera that's often harder. [/quote]
