[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People! Do some research. Early or late reading does not matter. They all tend to even out by age 8. What is your hurry? Let your child be a kid. Plenty of academic years are ahead. Geeeez![/quote] +1 All that time spent learning to read will polarize the kids whose brains are ready and those who are not (affecting the self esteem of those who don’t pick it up easily). It also takes time away from natural discovery and creativity, story telling, role playing—all that help them with reading and comprehension in the future, but are age appropriate now. They have so many worksheets in elementary school, there’s zero evidence that worksheets and drills benefit the pre-k set. [/quote]
