[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here. In my opinion, true reading is one of those things that clicks when it clicks. Consistent exposure to reading, books, and letters is very important, but as far as a child beginning to read, there is no benefit to rushing the process. In my mind, it is similar to walking...some kids walk at 8 months, others don't walk until 15 months...but by 2 years, they're all running and it doesn't matter who walked first. In your child's K class there will be kids who read at 4 or earlier and kids who won't read well until 7, and a lot in between. They will all become solid readers. [/quote] That's the way it was with my daughter. Not reading going into K, small improvement during the first half of the year and then BOOM! She was reading Harry Potter books by that summer.[/quote]
