[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a range of developmentally normal ages to read but four and five are well within that range.  Summer before first is a last resort for kids who were young for K, i would think. [/quote]

No, it's not a "last resort" for a kid to be able to read before they turn 6, that's ridiculus[/quote]

It is if you don’t want them bundled in the “low” reading class, to have as their peers all of the behavioral difficulty, language difficulty, learning difference, and other baggage that entails. Differentiation starts in first grade.[/quote]

Our school does small reading groups in 1st grade 30 minutes two times a week. There is no separate "low" class.[/quote]

Ok, so do you want your kid in the low reading group, probably getting 30 seconds of attention because they won’t be the biggest challenge in that group? Or in the more advanced group where the teacher won’t be spending time literally teaching the alphabet to the kid next to them?

Thats the difference between reading and not reading before first grade. [/quote]
It's twice a week for 30 minutes each time and they are working on decoding, not learning the alphabet. It's fine. It is what my kid needs right now (plus an hour of private tutoring on the weekend).[/quote]
