[quote=Anonymous]I bet this is aps.  We started aps this year from another school district.   My son is similar. He was identified.  And I think the area expects all K to read.  Yes it's possible.  No lots of kids learn in 1st grade. He got a letter Tuesday I think.

You can be in ap, gifted later on and begin to read late 1st. 2nd grade 
There is a bunch of studies that expecting all kids to read at 5 is pushing and is not truly indicative of any long term ability.  Phonics awareness is preferred over route sight word learning.  Reading recovery has negative feedback.  Simple google search brings it up.

In any case, I'll send my kid to the program. 1 on 1 is good for my current kid. My older kids are in Williamsburg ms now, both had a fantastic 1st grade teacher and really read in late 1st early 2nd.  My late bday other child read a few months later.  It seems upsetting for a child to be behind others but every kid is different. Plus my boy is reluctant to read. Wants to play sports, games, math anything but reading every day. Though we did read on summer. Level 1

I see it this way, If you want every kid to walk at 9versus 11mo.  And want to make that the standard. Umm ok.  Is every kid usually walking?  No. Eventually yes.  Are my kids better because they walked at 9 mo?   Same with reading.  It doesn't matter who starts first. [/quote]
