Description

"Won't my child be bored in kindergarten if they learn to read too early?" - I get questions like this in my comment section all the time, and it's one of the reasons a lot of folks don't want to teach their little one to read at home. But in my experience as a former kindergarten teacher, being able to read going into kindergarten gives children access to so many more books that interest them and will keep them engaged (not bored!) I wrote about commonly cited research that says we DO expect too much from Kindergartners on my blog, check it out! https://www.toddlersread.com/blog/do-we-expect-too-much-from-kindergarteners HOW I CAN SUPPORT YOU 💻 Find my FREE 30 min workshop, courses, cards and more here: https://bit.ly/toddlerscanread MY SOCIAL MEDIA 1.

On point with this!! Teach your kids or kiddos to read because they will get left behind most the time!!

Spot on. I have ADHD foor some reason, and I've realized that 90% of the time if I think I'm "bored" I'm actually just terribly overwhelmed.

Thank you for this! Although I have never had my kids know how to read before kindergarten I am looking forward to my 2 youngest reading by kindergarten. You are on point about teaching them to be able to follow directions before Kinder! I respect you so much because you tell it like it is! And it's all FACTS! Thanks for all you do!

My son gets upset when teachers or myself repeat things to him that he already knows when he doesn't answer. He tells us that he already knows it. And it's true-we know because if we leave him sometimes he blows through it in 30 seconds. So frustrating.
