[quote=Anonymous]I worried about this when my older one was in preschool. I had heard that in our county there was the expectation that kids should be able to read upon starting K, so I made sure to work with him at home to boost what he was learning in preschool. Several years later and I have known numerous kids entering K who did not know how to read. Didn't matter. All the ones I've known caught up in no time, some 5 year old non-readers outshining their precocious classmates within just a couple of years. I can't be brought to worry about it with my current preschooler. Pushing her to read chapter books by k wouldn't mean she'd still be ahead of her non-reading k classmates by 3rd grade. [/quote]
