[quote=Anonymous]I should probably add that if you have a kid who is teaching him/herself to read or writing out tables of number facts for fun, don't get in the way. So don't stifle an interest or make a kid wait until school to pursue it.. But in situations where you the parent are agenda-setting or where DC has lots of interests, then I'd steer toward stuff s/he will NOT be doing in school anytime soon. So in my DC's case, rather than teach her how to read, we kept reading her books (or getting her audiobooks) that were more interesting and challenging. So rather than basic phonics skills, she headed off to school with an amazing vocabulary, a good sense of writerly "voice," and strong interests in politics, science, and philosophy. She picked up phonics quickly and easily when it was taught, she wasn't bored or pissed off to be taught it. [/quote]
