[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former K teacher: There may be several that can "call words". That may be reading in their parents' mind, but not in mine. Reading involves lots more than decoding letters.[/quote] I think this is the problem. Parents keep saying their kids can read or their kids could read before kindergarten and all they mean is some BOB books or laboring over Dick and Jane. But, parents like OP misinterpret this and freak out. The kids who can call words have very little advantage over your DD. There may be one or two kids in your DD's class who can read chapter books like Charlotte's Web going into K. Other than those two kids they will all even out and move up and down in rank. Your DD will benefit from learning how to learn in K![/quote]
