Jojo, I believe she said that level 4/5 kids were reading well above (5+ years?) grade level by the time they entered K unless there were tracking issues or dyslexia. (Plz don't quote me. I was interrupted a lot during the webinar so might be off with my facts) I actually started the dyslexia post because of this very issue with my DS7. I never considered there to be a prob until recently. DS7 read at 2 and 3 then stopped in preschool and K. Then after we pulled him from ps in 1st he started reading and really took off until school started again this fall. He said it is too much work to read. When I asked him what the letters on the page were doing, he started in on this elaborate creative spiel about what certain combos of letters do. For example 2 oo's next to each other look the infinity sign, and sometimes the p hanging over a b looks like a snowman and these over here look like rockets. No wonder he can't read. There are too many creative images bouncing around.
