[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son can read about 80% of the words in one of those Level 1 books.  Slowly.  This is better than what he could do when he first started kindergarten in September, so I'm not worried.  I'm just curious about what other kids are doing right now. I know many of the other kids in his class were reading when they started kindergarten.  Is that really the norm? [/quote]

I think the parents on this forum can only speak to their child. My child started Pre-K reading after teaching himself. Do you care ? You shouldn't.

Seems you should have just had a parent/teacher conference, why not ask the professionals ( his teachers). Though KDG might be young for them to bring it up if they suspect there might be a problem, they will tell you if you ask. That is their job.

Secondly, if you are worried, read to him more ( 30 minutes every night) , and ask his teachers if he needs help. Don't burry your head in sand. The school might wait until they are ready to designante him as " having difficulty" to tell you and that might be 1st grade.[/quote]
