[quote=Anonymous]Our son (with an early Aug B-day) started in K as almost the youngest a few years back (he was in daycare until then). OP, he was how you describe your child, neither interested nor capable of reading in any meaningful ways. He knew some letters but not all of them. He started "below basics", so the lowest quartile, in the former classification (thank god we didn't know at the time what that meant). He caught up by about 2nd grade and knocked it out of the park by 4th and 5th grade. Socially, he was always on track. I'm not sure I would conclude that the struggle and the keeping up is what did it but it certainly didn't harm him. Now that he's taking advanced courses in middle school and seems slower than some others (especially girls) to get his stuff in order, we sometimes wonder if we're seeing some of the "brain's just not ready signs" but he still does above average and always eventually somehow gets it together, and fits in socially as well. Hope this is helpful.[/quote]
