[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans are nuts about starting early for everything! It's never how you start.  I think that age 5 is still young.  I get academically you have to get up to par grade wise to keep up at any school but not reading well in K is truly NOT a big deal.  My 2 kids in MD read great in K.  One is fine but the other was t diagnosed with dyslexia until 5th grade!  So just because he read well in K did not mean all will be well thereafter. My point is you gotta look at where a kid is at 6/7 to really figure out what's what and then there is still plenty of time to catch up.  My dyslexia kid took years with hard work but is finally doing great.  [b]In Scandinavia they don't even worry about this stuff till after age 7.[/b][/quote]

Yeah so what? That’s foreign language dependent.
In China your kid memorizes 100 characters a week at age 4 onward.

Reading, writing and math facts are the goals of age 4-10 wherever you are. Then you can digest higher level materials and learn faster- by reading! [/quote]
