I teach grade four but have a friend who is worried about her son in his first
year of school. He is five and is not reading. I keep telling her this is not
a problem but we are at school whereby the expectations are set very high and
there are a number of children in that class reading already and her husband is
making comparisons. The child is interested in print, stories and is very
verbal. He is read to every night and has been since he was born. He loves
the piano and reads notes and plays. My attitude is let him be but I want to
know if there is any comments from teachers at the five year old level who
could give me guidance on how to help. Am I right in saying, its okay? I am
worried that the child will pick up that he is ‘not doing well’ when this is
perfectly age appropriate or am I behind in what is happening in kindergarten
classes now? Ideas please. Suzanne
