[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My daughter is 4.5 and we are leaning towards starting her in kindergarten this fall (turns 5 late July). She knows all letters and numbers 1-10, can write her name and all letters and numbers 1-10, knows a few sight words, knows all letter sounds.

She's very social and has no issue being separated from me (she goes to all day preschool). The only thing she struggles with a bit is her reaction when things don't go her way. Crying is a natural response for her but it is SO MUCH better than 3-6 months ago, so expecting even more improvement. She loves to learn and her teacher says she's very engaged.

Based off of the feedback above I think she's ok... I'd just heard about some kids reading before kindergarten and got kind of worried. Though, if we held her till 6, I have no doubt she'd be reading before she entered kindergarten. But then she may be frustrated if they're working on things like sounding out letters?

Struggling with this decision of sending a young 5 to kindergarten a bit if you can't tell...[/quote]She sounds ready.  Starting to sound out words and being ready for Bob books is a great place to be at the beginning of K.  [/quote]

+1 My summer baby started K on time and she is doing great (in first grade now).[/quote]
