[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you read a story with any kid in preschool and kindergarten before bedtime, they will be reading children's books on their own in first grade.

That's all it takes.  It's a very small 15 minutes per day investment.

Same with math spend 15 minutes per day with your kid doing math and they will be way ahead.[/quote]

You’re delusional.

For one, 20% of kids have dyslexia. No amount of reading to them will teach them to read. They need intensive, systematic phonics-based reading instruction.

Another roughly 60% of kids don’t have dyslexia but still need intentional reading instruction.

It’s rare for kids to just pick up reading by osmosis the way you’re describing. It’s a myth. [/quote]

Reading every day with their parents is the greatest predictor of a small child's future academic success. Every six year old that reads well has parents that have been reading with them, sounding out words, and learning letters since they were toddlers. The reason most grade school children with reading deficiencies have trouble is due to parental failures and not because of some overworked kindergarten teacher with 80 students.

And 20 percent of human beings do not have dyslexia. That's ridiculous. [/quote]

Ah yes. Ignore the decades-long studies from Yale because you think it’s ridiculous.

You should email Sally Shaywitz and tell her that her research is BS.[/quote]
