[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the education responsibility falls more on teachers in middle school and high school, but learning how to read is the parents responsibility. It's the parents job to get the kids to a point where they can learn. Then the schools can teach topics like mathematics and the sciences. Elementary school education is really the parents responsibility. [/quote] That's ridiculous. I'm a child of educated immigrants who spoke limited English. They did not teach me to read. School did. Most kids do not learn just by being read to. They need explicit instruction in reading by someone trained to deliver it. [/quote] That is what ESL is for. If you read with your kids, most kids can read Green Eggs and Ham before kindergarten. [/quote] Some kids memorize it. When my son was four I’m pretty certain he had some books memorized. [/quote]
