Ok, very curious about how you know this.  Do you volunteer and secretly assess reading levels of the kids whose parents claimed they can read just to see if the parents were exaggerating?  Do you cross examine the parents to see what the kids are reading and if its Dr. Seuss or a limited number of books, you conclude that they are not REALLY reading?

First - I can barely meet another parent with a kid in K without them commenting on their kids' reading skills.  Seriously.  Almost every single conversation.  This has been going on throughout the school year.

Second - like everybody else, I volunteer in the classrooms.  Sometimes, it is while they are doing reading.  When a child brings in their own book to "read" to the class, and "read" this book without actually looking at ANY OF THE WORDS, then I have my doubts.

Third - A bunch of my son's friends have come over for playdates.  I confess, they sometimes play video games where there is READING involved.  The kids can't read (though if you asked their parents, they were "readers").
