[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is trying to compare Kindergarteners when it comes to reading. Some will be reading when at the start of K, others will have progressed into reading by mid K, and for some they won’t get it until mid 1st. Guess what? In the long run it doesn’t matter as long as they grasp it by mid 2nd.[/quote] I’m an earlier post who said for now just focus on reading to / with your child, and I agree with this. Imo it is too early to know if this is a problem, and I’d trust the teacher’s thoughts as I think parents get worked up about reading/writing in these early grades because of the huge range of skills (you see Johnny reading Magic Treehouse and wonder why your kid can’t read a Bob book). Fwiw my kids are older and avid readers, and neither could read or write in K (they had gone to a play based preschool that didn’t directly teach either). [/quote]
