[quote=Anonymous][quote]If a child isn't reading and it wasn't a focus at home or preschool, holding them back will only hurt them. If they haven't gotten it by age 5, another year of preschool isn't going to help, but K will. If a preschool was great, they would have gotten your child prepared, even if you didn't supplement or help at home. [/quote] So, you think that a four year old who cannot read has not been taught properly? FWIW, I taught school. I'd much rather have a kid who has a large vocabulary, curiosity, and good social skills than a kid who was "trained" to read at four. I taught a few like that--they could not think their way out of a box. On the other hand, many kids who could not read when they started the school year could easily pass the others by if they had great language skills. Being read to and talked with is a lot more important than learning to call words.[/quote]
