Just a curiosity...

I�m worried with my little students. They�re 5/6 yo and books we use are, sometimes, from other countries. I realized that in their level some books demands they read some easy words. Here in Brazil our "abc" process starts at this level, age like 5/ 6. And there, how old are they when your kids start reading? |

Well, it depends on each child. Anyway, here children`s literacy starts (in general) between the ages 5 and 6, that is at the end of kinder and during their first grade at primary school. Whya are you worried? |

Hello, I am also from Brazil and I understand what you mean. I �ve got a 6-year old
who started reading at the age of 5 but most of his friends didn �t. If I were you, I wouldn �t focus on the written words, even though the book brings them. Just give them clear instructions, show the word and they �ll naturally deal with them. They are used to not understanding what �s written :). I think the focus depends a lot on the teacher. I hope to have helped you. |

The earlier children are introduced to words the better, take the words from the books and make word cards, i.e. as flash cards. We concentrate on sounds/rhyming in the reception class which are 4/5 year old here.
