OP here. 4yo has trouble with 11-14. He knows up to 10.

I feel better this morning. DH is traveling this week so I feel extra stressed out. I quit my job when I realized my older child was struggling. I am devoted to my children and have not cared for anything else in my life more. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I know my kids will not necessarily be the same as us academically. It is still upsetting that my older child is in the lowest reading group at school and my younger child is the only one in his preschool class who cannot count to 20.[/quote]

(MIT mom here). My 4.5yo has exactly the same problem with 11-14. My older kid (7yo) couldn't read until 1st grade. A year later, she is finishing the 7th Harry Potter book and is being sent to 3rd grade math classes. Being a Type A personality myself, I know how hard it is to feel helpless at solving a problem. But maybe there is no problem to be solved!   [/quote]

Thank you for your post. My almost 7yo 1st grader enjoys when I read the books for him. He does not enjoy the emergent reader "baby" books that are appropriate for his reading level. Really hoping that his reading takes off this year. That is what I have been waiting for. [/quote]
