[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid in this area (early nineties) people freaked out about this too. There were kids in my nursery school who were reading beginner books at age 4, and their parents bragged. In kindergarden, some could read chapter books. In first grade, the "advanced" group read Beverly Cleary. By the end of first grade/beginning of second, there was pretty much no correlation between those who were advanced at the beginning of K and those who were not. Kids learned at different rates--and barring some LD like dyslexia, getting there later rather than sooner was a non-issue at the end of the day.[/quote]
