[quote=Anonymous]First grade teacher here. K students do not need to be reading. Some are ready; some are not. New research, recently described in the Washington Post, suggests that even kids who ARE ready for reading instruction would be better off with additional play time to succeed overall in life. When parents come into first grade bragging that their kid can read Harry Potter, we just roll our eyes. I can read a physics book but that doesn't mean I understand what I'm reading. Just read to your kids, use voices, discuss the text, and model that reading can be fun and interesting. [/quote]
