[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I don't know what you mean by making sure that kids have oral language before they start teaching reading. Very few children start kindergarten unable to talk. [/quote] Sad,how many people realize just how limited are the skills of so many kids in the US. Do you want to know why there is an achievement gap? It starts with lack of vocabulary and language skills. [/quote] If you mean to that schools should make sure that all kids' oral language skills should be comparable to the oral language skills of the typical middle-class child before the schools start teaching reading, then you should say that.[/quote]
