[quote=Anonymous]My kid is in public K and we are having the exact same experience as you, OP. No real reading prep before K, no sounding out cvc and even more complex words. They work on phonics daily and are learning things like how an -e at the end of a word changes the sound of the earlier value, ch/th/sh, and even more complex endings like -ing and -tion. I've been amazed. As long as the school and your teacher understands and supports actual science of reading, there's no reason public schools can't do this. It's not a secret, it's just that a bunch of educators have bought into a theory of reading that doesn't work. Thankfully it's losing popularity but I think there are public and private schools that have bought into it and those kids have suffered, unfortunately.[/quote]
