[quote=Anonymous]Waldorf teaches reading in 1st grade, but you have to be 7 years old by May 30th to go into 1st grade. All seven year olds are ready to read. Not true of all 5 and 6 year olds, so they keep 5 an 6 year olds in a curriculum rich in narrative, free play, art and music. This curriculum lays the groundwork for a love or learning and of reading. There is no benefit to early reading, so why not wait till all are ready instead of make some kids dread and resist reading because they aren't good at. The kids that are ready will benefit tremendously from an early childhood curriculum focused on the arts and on social skills. [/quote]
