[quote=Anonymous]Another in the it's normal/lay off the pressure camp. DD barely knew the alphabet at 4, had no interest in reading herself although she loved to be read to. She was just really interested in other things, esp. exploring outside, building creative things. Reading didn't click with her until sometime in 1st grade and then she took off. By 4th grade she was ID'd as gifted for language arts and she continues to be very creative, both in writing and in art. I'm a children's librarian and educated about what is developmentally appropriate so I never worried about it (although I had to reassure DH a number of times) DS read early (age 3-4) but as a 6th grader doesn't particularly like reading and hates writing. Let your DD explore at her own pace and find a preschool that supports that.[/quote]
