[quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten age 5-6 year olds have such a range. They absorb so much that year that a kid that is 5 years 9 months may know a lot more just because academically, that is a lot of extra time to pick up concepts. Add to that the fact that some kids come from preschools or households that focus on math/reading and the difference between kids will be even greater. My son was the oldest and came from a Montessori so he came in knowing how to read and addition/subtraction. There were kids who came in just learning letter sounds. Fast forward two years. Some of the kids in the "high level" group are either still there or have moved towards the middle of the pack. Some of the kids learning how to read are now in the middle level group and some on their way to high with just a bit more time. I wouldn't be concerned. Just support whatever your child is learning and it will even out around third grade.[/quote]
