[quote=Anonymous] Look, reading is important. I would say, however, that very specific standards for it in grades K-1 are not helpful. Kids develop differently and some kids come to K with no preschool experience. That puts the kid behind because K is now academic. The kid with no preschool is much more likely to fail the standards . . . and that is not the K teacher's fault. Also, your idea that reading has to follow some "incremental step" method is wrong. Some kids know how to read before K and it's not because there was an "incremental step" method used. People learn in very different ways. [/quote]
