[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok...I'm just on the fence...he's already reading to himself and I wasn't sure if the school would provide more to push that skill forward or keep him with others who can't read at all. If I homeschool would I push him or keep him at a kindergarten pace?[/quote] Typical kindergartners range from no literacy skills at all to just recognizing sight words, to recognizing sight words and decoding, to reading with comprehension. Kindergarten teachers are accustomed to that and will differentiate. DS started kindergarten with the ability to recognize sight words and decoding/comprehending simple text and is now reading on the mid-upper first grade level. They don't keep them at the kindergarten level just because they are in kindergarten. [/quote Not all teachers differentiate. [/quote]
