[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe your pediatrician meant that during this upcoming year that your son is 5 years old (ie Kindergarten) he is expected to read?

Did your son just turn 5 and go in for a wellness checkup? Obviously, a recently turned 5 year old won't be reading proficiently, but by the time he is 5 3/4 (going on 6 years old) you can be he'll be reading simple word books.[/quote]

OP here.  He just recently turned 5, and it was during the annual checkup.  She did say that in FCPS K program, the students are expected to be able to read, therefore, my son and I have a lot to do during the summer.  When I went to the orientation, there was no mention of that, so I wanted to confirm with other parents.  Thanks for the good information from a lot of you by the way...  I want my son to do well in school of course, but I also want him to be a child and not get stressed about it.  He will have to deal with the academic world into his 20's, and I really believe there's no reason why kids at this age need to dive into it.  [/quote]
