[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re relying on your school to teach your kid to read, you’re failing as a parent. None of this should matter. [/quote]

Such a strange hot take. Makes me wonder if I should ask folks what they think the purpose of school is before asking them opinions about school. [/quote]

Definitely should. I think you’d find that most parents have taught their kid to read before entering K. Most kids in our school are reading at 2nd/3rd grade level when they enter school. Maybe it matters more elsewhere, but the difference between using context clues vs. phonics vs. whatever else is the choice de jeur for best reading curriculum doesn’t really matter to many cohorts.

Name the school. While I am certain that these kids aren't rare, no way are most (or even the majority) reading and comprehending on that level. I know because my child was one of them, and finding a peer group on the same level  was tricky.  [/quote]

And whether your child reads early has little to do with intelligence.[/quote]
