Many homeschoolers learn to read late without any stigmatization. Not all kids are ready to learn to read in first grade. Sure, most of them can be forced, but one of the many advantages of homeschooling is that learning can take place according to the kids' timetable. Nine and even ten is not too old to learn to read, but if a child has already been stuck in a dummy's class, it is probably too late for the child to avoid considering himself a failure. Peace.
