[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out the research done by E.D. Hirsch. He posits that kids without a lot of content knowledge start to fall behind in reading in about 4th grade. Content knowledge is needed for context, etc. and kids who haven't had a wide exposure to history, science, classic stories, etc. can decode, but can't understand more difficult texts due to their constant references/allusions to other material. This is the basis of the Core Knowledge curriculum. Don't worry so much about reading level, and focus on enriching your DS's education in other ways. You will find it synergistic.[/quote] How does one build content knowledge? NP[/quote]
