[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 1st grader and a PreK-er and have purposely spent most of our time outside running around and avoiding learning to read early. The older child didn't read when he started K. The younger PreK-er won't know how to read before starting K. Academics are pushed down to the lower grades with recess and PE becoming a rare event. Do your kids a favor and let them have fun. They will have their nose to the grindstone soon enough. You know, chained to a desk reading and taking standardized tests. Relax. [/quote] I don't know. I taught my children to read before kindergarten (when they were ready to learn) specifically because reading is fun.[/quote]
