[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS isn’t at all.

My son’s kindergarten teacher never said my son was behind.

DS had a play date this morning with a boy in his class who is reading well. [/quote]

Stop comparing your child to other children in class. Your child will learn to read at his own pace. If there’s a problem, I would assume the teacher would discuss it with you.  If not, you should question the teacher directly.  I have one child who did not read until the end of second grade. He is not a kid who loves to read.  He’s currently in middle school and he’s doing just fine (although we did get him help and worked with him ourselves).  My other child couldn’t read anything entering kindergarten and ended the year reading at an almost 3rd grade level.  Talk to the teacher about your concerns.[/quote]

And I mean it in a nice way- don’t compare. It does even out by 2nd/3rd grade for nearly all kids. The ones with issues are usually on the teacher’s radar screen and concerns have been brought to the parents previously, and interventions started.

Op- ask the teacher if your DS is on track. If she says he is, no reason to worry at all. Kids learn to read at different paces- same as any other skill (riding a bike, learning to walk, potty training, swimming, etc). There is a wide range of normal![/quote]
