[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think supporting your kids in learning to read, and developing a love of reading, is a parent's job. I don't think that means you have to use a formal curriculum before or during K. Reading with your kids and practicing sounding words out will get most kids there eventually. It's important to make reading enjoyable. [/quote] This. My aunt was a K teacher and I asked her what my kids needed to be ready for K. She said social skills, waiting turns, ABCs and motor skills. None of my kids were seriously reading before K - they knew some words from their books, their names, but I certainly didn't have a curriculum or program. I also believe there is more to brain development in a young child than what an adult necessarily understands or values. I wanted my kids to be kids. They've all learned to read at school in time and are bright and healthy and happy.[/quote]
