I did, mainly my mom. my dad worked all day and night lol. She taught me a hell of a lot before I even started school 😂

I wasn’t going to ask for that very reason...but I figured it was harmless lol

not at all. I didn’t take a reading test to get into the program

I haven’t played the game. he said the kid couldn’t read. not that Zelda was too complex.

well maybe you shouldn’t have been reading Harry Potter.

I never once said anything about long term success. I’m just talking about being able to read.

Yea, I absolutely loved reading. it’s what I spent most of my time doing until I was a teenager. I would finish a few books a week

I started Kindergarten at 4. I had to be tested to be allowed to do that, they tried to force me into pre-k but I was turning 5 a few months after school started so my parents figured it’d be a waste of time. I was also writing quite a lot & by 3rd/4th grade I was in those national short story contests for kids, that…

I have a young cousin who can read, he’s like 2 going on 3. the way he talks is pretty funny though

interesting stuff . I know shit about kids and all that stuff. all I did was take me and my family’s experience and pose a question based on that. because reading at that age was normal, to me. so I was curious

I remember critical things, yes. I’m only 21, it wasn’t a crazy long time ago. oddly enough I have less memories from when I was a bit older though. but I also have a little brother who I helped teach to read before he went to school.

what should you learn at 4 and why is reading not one of those things? if my parents relied on our school system to teach their 5 children we’d probably be idiots. Our school system has had consistently low performance every year for decades to the point that they’ve gotten rid of a lot of tests and made it…

Yea, it was a question of honest curiosity. I never pretended to be an expert on life lol.

I was the fourth lmao

I don’t have a kid, genius.

thanks . not sure how I’m stuck up for asking a question, maybe you just feel like an idiot. Sorry about that.

yes, I’ve been playing games as long as I can remember lol. from Atari and up. hell I remember playing Halo in like 01 and I was 5

you very well could teach a 10 year old how to drive. we drove go karts at that age

that is why, my friend, I asked a simple question. I’m 21 years old. I have one little brother. I don’t know about much about raising kids nor do I have any of my own.

I never said anything about following instructions. I asked if a kid not reading at 4 was normal. and yes, my parents taught me before I went to school because I’m their child and part of raising a kid is teaching them things. how much and when is up to the parent. I was reading books in Kindergarten. I was reading…
