[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]"Studies have compared groups of children in New Zealand who started formal literacy lessons at ages 5 and 7. Their results show that the early introduction of formal learning approaches to literacy does not improve children’s reading development, and [b]may be damaging[/b]. By the age of 11 there was no difference in reading ability level between the two groups, but the children who started at 5 developed less positive attitudes to reading, and showed poorer text comprehension than those children who had started later. In a separate study of reading achievement in 15 year olds across 55 countries, researchers showed that there was no significant association between reading achievement and school entry age. - See more at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/discussion/school-st...-evidence#sthash.hVYdNNAa.dpuf[/quote] [/quote] Could you link to the actual study in New Zealand, please? Not somebody's summary of a summary of the study.[/quote]
