[quote=Anonymous]I question that 90% statistic. And, it appears that it is not holding longitudinally. And, the research does show that it is better to wait. My observation and experience supports that philosophy. That does not mean that if kids are ready to read that they should not. If they are ready and have a strong program, they will read. No one can stop them. However, to have a standard that encourages pushing academics for which many kids are not ready, is wrong. I have seen what happens. It is not learning--it is training. There is a difference. But, if you want to push kids who would benefit from a slower approach and more time to develop rich vocabularies, then go ahead. I guess you cannot convince someone who has not seen it themselves. Once more, how many kids have you taught to read? [/quote]
