[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MCPS, the goal is to have the child reading at a level 4 by end of K, but secretly, they want the kids at a level 6.

My DD was an emergent reader at the start of K.  At the parent teacher conference, she was at a level 4.  This is in November.  By the end of K, she was reading at level I (end of 1st grade level?).

But, there are plenty of kids that don't read until 1st grade.  Just read to your DC at home everyday.  They will pick it up.[/quote]

+1  I'm a children's librarian and, not surprisingly, read to my kids all the time, from birth.  One was a good reader before K while the other wasn't interested and it didn't really click until 1st grade.  You aren't doing something "wrong" if your kid isn't reading before or even in kindergarten.[/quote]

+2 My DS could barely read when he entered kindergarten. He loved being read to but didn't seem very interested in reading. Towards the end of kindergarten, however, it all clicked for him. He's in first grade now and reading chapter books.

I would definitely not stress about it too much at this point. [/quote]
