[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid a million years ago, we had a grade called “pre-1st” in the public schools. The schools really wanted everyone in K on time - I grew up in a mostly working-class and diverse area, and public K was a lot of kids’ first exposure to school and there were (at that time, by today’s standard not at all) a lot of kids who didn’t have a lot of exposure to English at home. But some of the kids who were younger, who needed more time to learn to read/write, or who just needed an extra year, were encouraged to do pre-1st before 1st grade. It was a smaller class size and went over more of the fundamentals. K was half day and more play-based at that time, so pre-1st was more like today’s full-day K. [/quote]
