[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in the day, kids did not have to read until first grade, now it is kindergarten. Both my kids read before K and went all through public, and we had friends who went all through private, didn't read until later. Guess what? they all catch up and can read. Obviously, each kid is different and learn at a different pace.[/quote] That’s great. But isn’t the question here HOW they were TAUGHT to read? At age 5 or 6 or 7 or 8? Currently too many private and public schools don’t do much teaching on it. They are also anti homework and worksheets and reading aloud to the class, thus the kids aren’t getting the reps in they need to master math facts or spelling combos or accuracy reading vocab and sentence structure. Back before common core and NCLB we had Hooked on Phonics, leveled readings, spelling bees and tests, and actual lessons on phonics. [/quote]
