[quote=Anonymous]It depends what kind of early reader. Teaching your kid K curriculum the summer before K probably won't give them a head start in the long run. Those are the kids that people are talking about when they say it "evens out." However, because humans exist on a spectrum there are many kids who don't even out and stay at the top of their class. These are often the ones who taught themselves to read very early. Not because the extra years of reading matter necessarily, but because it is a mark of intelligence/aptitude. If your kid is asking, go ahead and do some fun reading activities with them but there is no advantage to drilling an average child. As a PP said, all that does is make it so they are potentially bored in K when they could have been stimulated. There are some kids who you couldn't hold back if you tried, and you'd know if you had one. [/quote]
