[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point of reading early if they don't understand? It doesn't encourage reading for pleasure. Better to wait until they learn because they are motivated.[/quote] IMHO that wouldn't be a true early reader. When I think of an early reader, it is a kid who basically figured out reading on his own and does comprehend the text -- the kind of kid you are constantly reminding to put the book down at the dinner table -- at age 4. No problem with comprehension or enjoyment and no learning by drilling or pushing. It just happens. That is a true early reader, and you can't turn any kid into that with flash cards, and I don't think you shouldn't try. My DC1's DCPS K class had 5 such kids in a class of 20. They were and are an astonishing group. Many kids joined them as the year and years progressed. [/quote]
