There is no point in drilling a fluent reader in the alphabet or teaching a child who can count to 100 how to count to 10. This suggests readiness grouping even in KG, which is contrary to the philosophy of many educators. Totally agree. Many educators are wrong. ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B. Cleary
