[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous poster again-- I'm one of the ones that held back a Sept birthday at Janney. My child came into K reading fluently. But it was no big deal and he/she wasn't bored--I'd estimate that 80% of his/her classmates were also reading fluently upon entering K. My child wasn't bored---he/she was the norm. [/quote] OP here-- this is what I'm afraid of...that most kids born in Aug/Sept are held back so then my child will be "behind" and, with a large class, unable to keep up or get the personal attention he needs to learn how to read. Again, I'm not interested in holding him back so he can be "advanced" or can any advantage athletically or whatever. Physically, he's already on the tall side for even a 4 year old. But if he's going to be out of the norm for his K class, then I'd want to know. If I call the school, can I just make an appointment to talk to the principal (sorry, I am new to this; this is my oldest child)?[/quote]
