[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but most people do it before K. So then in K they can pick up whatever the school does teach.

My oldest was a covid K kid, and we homeschooled and then went to private for 1st and 2nd. He could read at age 4. Started my second in public K, but had learned to teach her before then. So, I can say that private schools are generally much better at teaching reading than public, but in both cases you should do it at home before starting K.[/quote]

Should do what exactly?  Most kids go to preschool, pre-k and Kindergarten.  They are plenty ready with their alphabet, their books, workbooks, reading at home, coloring, arts and crafts, letters and words everywhere.

I think the only ones not reading are just slower to read and it’s nobody’s fault.   Everyone wants the 99th percentile for their kids instead of where they actually are presently.  It’s not a problem to do more at home but it can’t be all these schools that don’t know how to teach. [/quote]

Except for the 2E dyslexic kids who are 99th percentile and can’t read.[/quote]

I know about learning disabilities getting in the way of all the real strengths the kid has.  It sucks. [/quote]
