[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of mine was reading by age 3, the other not until 2nd grade. Both ended up in magnets, one currently at a top tier college. When they read is not as important as encouraging reading. [b]End of story.[/b] [/quote] I take major issue with these type of statements. I am going off topic here since this is not op issue, but in general, parents should be aware of their children progress (or lack of progress) in reading, specially phonics awareness. There are TONS of kids that get to middle school and don't know how to read well... so, while reading before K is not expected and it is not something to aim for, you should absolutely work on phonics awareness as one pp mentioned. It will make things so much easier for your child later on. Plus, if your child has trouble grasping it, you can be on the lookout for dyslexia and start working on it early on. These issues compound if not addressed.[/quote]
