[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In many foreign countries, in K, kids learn cursive, how to read, how to write full sentences, addition and subtraction with numbers between 1 and 100, memorizing poems and someone even told me they memorize times tables in his country.[/quote] I would not use the word "rigorous" but our small Montessori did most of those things in K and 1st grade, but "Times tables" were later. The 1st grade sentences were pretty simple, and they were taught the basic parts of speech starting in 1st grade. [b]ALL kids at that school were reading before Halloween in 1st grade[/b]. A few kids were reading at age 3. A lot of kids were reading in K. It helped that they started teaching letters, numbers, and then Phonics during the 2-yr old / Toddler year. [/quote] They must have screened out/pushed out the 1 in 5 kids with dyslexia.[/quote]
