[quote=Anonymous]I’m not you’re intended audience but I have relevant experiences. My first was a very early talker, and just really bright, so I decided to teach her to read before she started school. She had no interest. I pushed it a lot before giving up. She was behind in kindergarten and in first grade, until DH gave her a more advanced book that actually interested her. Now she is in 7th and an extremely advanced reader. Since I had a bad experience trying to teach DD tk read, I didn’t try to teach the next kid. He probably would have been great at it and he wanted to learn, but I just had no desire to teach him. He was in the top of his class by the middle of the year in K. He is in 4th and reads plenty of books written for adults. I’d say if your kid wants to learn and you have the motivation, teach them. If not, don’t stress (although make sure your school isn’t doing balanced literacy). [/quote]
