[quote=Anonymous]My DS has a mid-August birthday and started in MCPS just two weeks after turning five. I was worried that he wasn't ready - he's short and super active, but his PreK teacher said he was totally ready. He could read and write basic words a few months before school started. He's been very happy in both K and 1st grade. Teachers say he does well socially and academically, and he's in the top quadrant of readers. That said, both years there have been kids in his class that are a FULL YEAR older than him. Parents have redshirted their kids for various reasons, which only exacerbates the age differences in the classroom. I don't wish I'd held him back, but do feel odd how much older some of the kids are...[/quote]
