[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just finished reading The Hurried Child. A good point from the book: -adolescents who were introduced to reading late were more enthusiastic, spontaneous readers than were those who were introduced to early reading. Hurrying children into advanced activities represents the parent's nee to have a precocious child rather than the best interest of the child. Let them be toddlers and little children.[/quote] And what about the child who wasn't hurried into reading at all, but picked it up because we read all the time and early readers run in the family. No flash cards, no sight word drills, she just could do it. And now she is 6 and a voracious reader of books beyond her comprehension abilities. She's not going to burn out on reading. We never pushed, this isn't like a kid who is doing soccer travel teams at 8 year round. [/quote]
