[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a late boomer (1961) and we could read before/during K. What are schools doing these days? Looking at screens? Dumb. [/quote] Speak for yourself. In the 1960s only about half of American kids went to kindergarten. Kindergarten back then was 100% play based. Learning to read started in first grade. Technology is not the problem. [/quote] Some places had (private or religious) Montessori preschools even back then, and kids in those schools routinely learned to read before K. The need to pay tuition means the population self-selected for parents focused on education, so not a reliable sample for the whole population.[/quote]
