Read before the enrollment - good or bad?
In kindergarten I've always told mothers that their children ask them to teach them the letters or reading. Many mothers are here, but unsure. Some fear that the children will be bored in school, others that it is not seen by the teachers happy. So what should we do?
The need to decipher the signs of the adult world to be, is often high even during the nursery period. The children discover at this time every written word: signs, posters in kindergarten, text under pictures in their picture books, headlines in the newspaper articles on trading cards, etc. and they want to know what is there. Increasingly, they also are curious about any letter combination which word corresponds to. You want to first write their own names and then also the loved ones.
This natural joy of discovery is still great and should be curbed in my opinion, under any circumstances. Children go through many different stages in their development where they are interested in different things. At this time, they learn to "child", are highly motivated and should be positively supported by our parents.
On the other hand, parents are often quite eager that their children can read before school enrollment, and be expected to write something. If their child prior to school but not interested in teaching reading, you should not stop this either. Certainly, his attention is now focused on something else, and it is also important for the development of the child. Did you know for example that the swing is a necessary prerequisite for learning to read? So you support your child exactly when, which is focused specifically his interest.
