Who the fuck is taking about “early reading?”
I’m not discussing early reading with a 3 or 4 year old.
I’m talking about INTERVENTION with a 7/8 year old.
This is what is wrong with America. GSCl

Your daughter still think you’re a loser?
Sophomore year she’s successfully finished 3 AP courses with this score for Lang

So…not 8 reading levels behind despite being 7 to 8 years old?
A bit older, but yeah no issues.
My son excelled as well once I got him up to speed. But I notice you ducked the question.
I’m assuming the status hasn’t changed.
3 AP courses as a sophomore is pretty outstanding
Solid. Good for you. Can’t be easy being a parent
Well tbf, 1 as a frosh. But still good. And that damn 5 is mind boggling
You and me have been discussing it.
And if you look at formative years, K, 1st and 2nd where the brain is closing on reading elasticity, it’s very bad. My kid for instance was 8 reading levels behind.
305- early reading would be at ages 3 - 6 (entering first grade). I’m talking about a 7 year old turning 8 who found himself behind because remote learning wasn’t giving him the resources he needed to stay on course.
I’ve read to my kids early. We did “sight words” and I even play games with them in the car and at bed where they have to do certain things with words that encompass visualizing them, defining them, and spelling them.
The problem here was that his teacher was overwhelmed and he slipped through the cracks, started to fall behind, and no one told us until we reached second grade and kids were ahead.
Like I said, my kid is a wiz in math. He’s been doing multiplication since kindergarten. He just seems to get it faster and easier. Reading was always tough for him (my brother had learning disabilities in this area as well at his age so it may be hereditary).
Anyway- as I always do, I try to share on this board so if others are going through the same they can reach out if they have questions.

How is a “board moderator” such a bratty fucking cunt?
Imagine thinking we couldn’t have pre- identified 90% of the very very very very very very very very few children that were at risk to die before they actually did.
These people defend this shit because they WANT to see all the predictable problems that this country is having now. There’s no other explanation for it. That covid sure was convenient wasn’t it?
Better to be alive and behind than dead with no chance
Again someone explain to this twat why he is incorrect…Such a minuscule number of kids died. And it clearly wasn’t worth it.
good thing we kept them from spreading it faster than lightning strikes by locking them down.
Then how did so many other countries “stop the spread” as well or even better while getting back to school so much sooner? Why weren’t kids in catholic schools or kids that went to American schools in some red states and got back months sooner show children and teachers “dying” at greater rate?s
WATCH…THEM…RUN…AND…HIDE…THEY…CAN’T…ANSWER…THIS
It remains so easy to simply destroy every argument the narrative-pushing, partisan sheep, commie cunt djrion conjures up from day to day on here
Uninformed, blinded by his delusional partisan ideology and hatred for the world around him, COMMIE CUNT
Instead of acting like the sky is fucking falling, you did your job. Here’s a pat on the back. I did the same shit with my son once COVID hit. Except I noticed how far he was behind the first week we were at home together. Education is a whole family thing, not a I drop my kids off and school and close my eyes until something is wrong.
That’s where the system is regressive tho and affects poor minorities greater. But that is a different Convo.
Not sure if you’re claiming that I did this but I didn’t. There were no clear signs. Much of his issue was comprehension. That’s difficult to gauge until 2nd grade and further when they begin reading on their own and have to read directions on other subject tests.
And that’s my ENTIRE point. My son is lucky to have a resource at home to help him. Many many many don’t.
When I was a permanent sub in my early 20’s a local urban high school I subbed at would regularly have 19 year old seniors that couldn’t read…. And passed them. It’s sad.
Great, and you specifically invoked the “formative” years, and you specifically cited “K, 1st, and 2nd grade.” You brought that age range up, not me. Don’t bite my head off when I return with “early” reading.
Anyway, glad to hear you working on the challenges and sharing. There is no such thing as a perfect parent or a perfect kid. Every day and every year there is something else for us all to tackle.
EDIT:
By the way, I wouldn’t dream of telling you how to parent, but I would still contend that, even at 8 or 9 years old, you reading to your kid would do wonders for him, ESPECIALLY if his difficulty is comprehension. Your emphasis, emotes, and explanations are all beneficial baby steps toward him doing that himself.
My kid is super advanced at reading and writing but he has a similar issue where he doesn’t want to read anything longer than a 30-minute chapter book. So right now I’m reading a 300-page middle grade book to him to show him how books can be exciting in snippets over the course of a week or two. He’s also 8. It helps.
So I would still VERY MUCH contest your statements that “You don’t teach a kid to read, or write, or spell, or comprehend, by reading to him.” It’s just wrong, because being read to teaches ALL those things.
I figured it would be crickets here…Like cockroaches with a light switch flip.
You mean…outside of the 34 responses?
You mean…outside of the 34 responses?
They all ducked that response though
Straight crickets.
Need a sheriff’s posse to find anyone defending the “but, but, but…We are saving the kid’s lives” crowd when confronted with those questions
