[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is speech delayed, and she can't read a single word. She can talk in full sentences, but she can't talk fluently and she does not have enough vocabularies to about complex matters. She has been doing great with friendship and learning at her last year of current daycare before she joins K this fall. [b]She is social and chatty.  [/b]She is doing weekly therapies on her speech and reading, and it is going to take a while for her to catch up. [b]What age would speech delayed & non reading become an issue for kid like that making friendship and academic learning at public school? [/b]

She has IEP, and no teacher is concerned too much about her . They are aware of her delays. It has been parents worrying about her socially & academically.

Without knowing the exact specifics about DD but to answer your question, I'll tell you my DS was the same. Speech delayed, very poor articulation, zero reading ability (but could identify letters). He was also chatty. He's currently in 1st grade and arguably one of the most popular kids in his class. His speech took off and his reading has improved tremendously (he's now average). The truck in the public school is to really push the school to avoid by the IEP and not graduate him out before you're comfortable. Verify the data, ask for additional analysis, and push for more services is you think it's warranted.

If you know any educators, ask for their advice as a check in what the school is telling you.

As for the social aspect, I think kids are actually much nicer these days and bullying seems fairly uncommon. Also, it's unlikely you're DD will be that different. There are more kids with speech than I expected and, It's anecdotal but, at those ages kids don't seem to really treat others differently[/quote]
