[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow so many early readers! Now I feel like I’m doing something wrong. DD turned 5 two weeks ago and she definitely cannot read. We read to her since she was 6 months old. She has shown a lot of interests in books and she loves being read to. She can’t read though![/quote] Teacher here. Reading to your kids is great but it will not teach them how to read. Most students need explicit instruction for that to occur. Just understand that DCUM skews wealthy and educated so the story might be completely different in other situations. I teach in a Title One school. Most of our kindergarteners go to full-day pre-k at our school and only 1 or 2 students can read at the beginning of the year. Some years, that number is 0. It's all relative to who you ask. BTW- Keep reading to your kids every day! It develops their vocabulary and they can hear what a fluent reader sounds like. Plus, it helps them equate books with love and happiness.[/quote]
