[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think you’re doing the wrong thing with your older one. Chapter books at 3.5yo, when there are so many lovely picture books around? Blech. You’re going to be one of the ones complaining that public school can’t accommodate your 4th-grade-reading-level kindergartner! [/quote] I thought of this, too. There are lovely picture books (at all reading levels, by the way--it's a genre, not a reading level), that are such fun to read with kids. Rushing to chapter books isn't even necessarily the best way to develop literacy skills -- there are picture books with more sophisticated vocabulary and stories than early reader chapter books. And the art also helps with comprehension skills. [/quote]
