[quote=Anonymous]DS is a September child and school starts August 12th. We didn’t want to send a 4 year old off to real school. DS lacked good fine motor skills, but otherwise a great kid. He went to a really great part time pre-k program with other red shirted kids. And I taught him how to read this past year. While I love my kid, he is pretty average. He now reads at about a fourth grade level and writes like a first/second grader just from the one on one he got for me each afternoon. He isn’t partially smart, so he will fit in great this coming year for K (whatver that even means in these times), because he is just a happy go lucky kid. He likely knows most academic skilled already, but k is about so much more. He would have struggled this past year and likely again as he entered middle/high school. Now he will be going into full time school as a confident 5 year old and not a timid, immature 4 year old. FWIW - we would have sent him had he turned 5 before school started. [/quote]
