Our DD4 has recently had a big jump in reading. She reads children's books to us at night and likes to read to family and friends. She also reads chapter books with help. She is in preschool. We asked her if she reads the books at school and she said those books were not for kids to read they were for the teacher. She also told us that 4 year olds don't read. She refuses to read anything at school, even things she knows and dose not want her friends or teacher to know she can read. I am very concerned that she tends to hide her abilities at such a young age. How can I encourage her to be herself and be proud of how she is. I am worried that the teacher said something to her or maybe another child. Sometimes I think I should just keep her home. But everyone says she needs to learn social skills and meet other kids.
