I am curious to know really.
I was speaking to a friend of mine today who said that her DD (who will be 5 next week, so just started reception) does not know all her alphabet. She is concerned that her child will not make a good start with reading because of this.
At the moment, we are getting picture books back from school, with a sheet to talk to DC through the story.
I was a little surprised, as she felt that nursary had let her down by not teaching her DD the alphabet, but i thought her DD will catch up, and after all the school starts all children off on the same level.
Should she be concerned?
