DD will start reception in Sept 2012. I don't know whether I should teach her to read, starting now.
I do have an older child (Y1) and I did not teach him to read before he started school and he didn't know any sounds when he started school. He currently reads ORT level 3. Reading threads on MN, his reading ability at this age and year group seems very behind. Most people on this site posting a reading level of a Y1 child are saying gold (stage 9) or even higher. However, looking at this ORT document www.oup.com/oxed/pdf/ORTReadingAges.pdf, it would seem that he is exactly on target - in Year 1, Term 1, they suggest level 3.
Is everyone on here teaching children to read before school? Is this what I should do for my DD?
Thanks for any help.
