[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard that in Denmark they don't start teaching kids to read until age 7, when all kids are developmentally ready. Can anyone confirm this?[/quote] Not sure about Denmark, but in Russia kids start school - first grade - at age 7. Many come to first grade already knowing how to read (those who attended preschool), but some don't.[/quote] I think this has always been exaggerated. I have not heard much about Denmark, most people use Finland when they say this. Finish children start elementary school at 7. but the state owned public free preschool starts something like 3 and most kids attend those. I also read somewhere saying that Finish is a very easy language while English is not. The person who wrote that article claimed that it is not feasible to do what they do in Finland here due to that linguistic difference. Who knows how does that compare to Danish. But Danish is a very difficult language apparently. [/quote]
