22. My daughter starts kindergarten next week. Per her Preschool teachers

she only needed to know her letters and numbers and how to spell and recognize the letters in her name. She knows some simple words like cat and dog. I learned that in kindergarten. Knowing how to read, not a requirement yet. Some 4 and 5 year olds can handle that but many are simply not ready. I refuse to pressure Morgan. I learned to read by 1st grade and ended up getting on the Honor role in high school plenty of times. Too much pressure on kids as there is. Any parent who falls into the trap of making sure little Johnny or Susie is the way ahead of every other kids scares me.
