[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not freak out about this.  My DD was a 4 at the end of kindergarten -- right where she was supposed to be for the benchmarks.  In 1st grade she "made amazing progress" and was about a year ahead by the end -- why?  B/c I started coaching her to read!  I didn't know I was supposed to be doing that in K!

Now that she's in 4th, she's still a year ahead and in the top reading group.

Bottom line -- kindergarten reading level means almost nothing. [/quote]

Couldn't disagree more!  Early years for every child means more than a parent and/or teacher can wrap their heads around.  The level of reading is a benchmark.  This ensures children are building comprehension and gain their own self confidence, pride, and individual achievement.  Personal growth and development in these years are building blocks for all children to become whomever they want to be.

Every grade, even preschool have a bearing on the direction each child will walk.  This of course, is also prime time for parents to enjoy and watch your child grow.  Nature vs. nurture.  Nuff said.  '   [/quote]
