[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say he has been a little slow to catch on to things. I would assume this pre k teacher has seen hundreds  of kids in pre  k. Her experience about the norms for children is valuable, given it can be a hard thing for a parent to hear. 
I had this same conversation with my childs prek teacher and it wasnt particularly helpful at the time as in she didnt provide many concrete reasons to wait. However, we decided to wait and it was the right decision. My child ended up being dyslexic which is not something that is easily recognized/ diagnosed very early. Just consider her thoughts and everything may not be easily recognizable right now but may be in the future. Also, try to continue the conversation with her after you've had time to process and digest for a bit. [/quote]

You could recognize your child struggling to read, especially at age 5 and get them a tutor or work with them.  [/quote]

You're so right, I should have recognized my pre k ( 4 yr old0 was going to struggle to read because obv thats a real expectation for pre k. I should have set her up with 3 day a week tutoring right. Or wait, your next comment is that I didn't read to her enough. I've heard all this nonsense before.[/quote]
