[quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher and I think that if we waited to teach kids to read until age 7 or so, we would save a TON of money on remediation/special education services. The kids we fret about because they aren't reading by halfway through first grade usually end up reading in second grade. But because the expectations are so high, those kids are considered "behind." Not everyone can learn to read in kindergarten. I don't even think they should teach kids to read before first grade. I learned how to read in first grade and I ended up with 2 Master's degrees. One of my second graders just learned to read within the last month or so. My son learned to read when he was around 3.5 yrs old. Most kids fall somewhere in between. For the OP, just read a lot to your child. An enjoyment of reading is what she needs now. Learning to read can be very hard work so she needs to have an enjoyment of reading so she will be motivated to learn.[/quote]
