[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever. My kid did it at 6. He had delays but now he is an honor roll student. 6 is late but 2 is hardly the norm.[/quote] 2 is the norm. Some kids are earlier. Some later. It all works out in the end.[/quote] Not the poster you quoted, but no, 2 really isn't the norm. It might be the norm in 2013 in DC because people are trying to actively teach babies the alphabet and numbers. But in the world in general, 2 is very young for this. [/quote] +1. I'm from Germany and we don't make toddlers memorize letters and numbers there. Most kids, even from educated families, start learning to read in first grade.[/quote] This is actually an educational philosophy, yes? My sister went to Waldorf school where they made no effort to teach reading before I think second grade? Somehow all the children turned out not just literate, but also most are doing extraordinary things.[/quote]
