[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids still can't read in second grade? What school district is this?[/quote]

How do you think kids learn how to read? They are taught phonics. English has complex spelling patterns that need to be taught and this usually takes 3+ years (kindergarten through 3rd grade). [/quote]

Yes they are taught phonics in pk3 and pk4 and they are reading by K or 1st grade[/quote]

They shouldn’t be. Anyway, not all kids go to preschool so there shouldn’t be the expectation that they do. It’s not mandatory. [/quote]

DCPS has free pk3-4 largely to supplement children who are not otherwise getting preschool or home instruction.  So the expectation is there's some learning starting at 3[/quote]

It isn’t mandatory so no, there shouldn’t be any expectations. [/quote]

I mean if you want your kid to not read while the rest of the class is reading, go for it.  But why would you do that to a child?[/quote]
