I am interested to see any milestone chart or anecdotes folks have on what is normal reading (normal for nd kids
for entering first grade.
We are anticipating a reading assessment for dd5 in august before going into 1st grade, and I think she is in good shape for it, partly because I am having her flex her reading muscles every night, but I just wanted to understand a bit more clearly.
The principal at the school said she'd struggle based on her identification of letter names which was a bit off perfect when they saw her in February. I asked if the first graders were going into first reading books with one line on a page or chapter books and she said 'both'. She said that a lot of people hold their kids back around here (big surprise there) so dd might really feel out of place.
