[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what do these readers do all year? My DC isn't starting kindergarten until next year and is getting pretty good at the Bob books and other early readers. Is she going to be bored to tears all year? [/quote] I'm not in DC, but a neighbor of mine has a kid who read before kindergarten, and she said kindergarten was kind of a waste of time for her child. Like a lot of sitting around while the teacher taught reading etc. to the other kids.[/quote] That’s what my kid is going through now. During school she sits through the teacher explaining what sound the F makes and the O and the G. And does Fog rhyme with Log? Then after sitting through this for a couple hours, she reads a few chapters of Magic Tree House or How to train Your Dragon during lunch. It’s ridiculous and her being home and doing DL in the background is really opening my eyes to how low the standards are. I’m thinking about taking her out of school. [/quote]
