[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, how many kids in an average Mclean K class start off reading? There were only two dc out of 28 who started K off already reading books in ds's class.[/quote] I can't tell you how many parents I've met who insisted that their kids could read entering into K, when in fact, it really turns out that they had just memorized a few beloved books. Not saying that this isn't a good first step toward reading, but I am convinced that most parents exaggerate their kids' reading skills in K. [/quote] I agree with this. Some people are comfortable saying that their child can read when all they read are Cat in the Hat kind of books. Others don't feel comfortable saying that DC can read until they can read most books fluently and only need occasional help with words longer than 4 syllables and/or of foreign origin or unusual spelling. So I would take "DC can read" with a grain of salt, since you don't really know what that means. [/quote]
