[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] No, it's a critical life skill. But being able to read early, late 3 instead of 5, isn't critical. If your kid happens to do it, that's great. It's something to be pleased about it, but [b]pressuring your kid to do it[/b] by putting them in Kumon is sacrificing their long term learning (because that kind of academic pushing is harmful to kids) so that you can brag at parties. [/quote] Pressuring? OP's child is [b]asking[/b] to learn to read. OP is trying to find out how to help OP's child get what OP's child wants, namely: learn to read. Also, one undeniable advantage of being able to read at 4, if you're ready, is being able to read when you're 4, instead of having to wait when you're 5.[/quote]
