[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all the comments but do have a friend whose son is a year behind her daughter (boy-girl twins). The son has serious disabilities (chromosomal abnormality). So it is done but that is a pretty extenuating circumstance.

Why don't you talk to the preschool teachers and get a sense of what they suggest? They deal with kids and kindergarten readiness daily...they might have some perspective on this since they know these kids that randoms on a message board do not.[/quote]

This is really good advice.
It's not clear from your post but I'm assuming there's no diagnosed delay such as pp described.
Your daughter can read, but doesn't seem so advanced that having her start K time would hurt her.
Also seems likely your son can start K on time.
There's a wide range of normal and ability when it comes to kindergarten.
Get outside support for both kids. It will also give them the opportunity not to be " the twins".

And when they go to K make sure they are in separate classes.[/quote]
