Children learn to read too early
Children are too young to learn to read when they first start school in the UK, an academic claims.
Pushing reception pupils too hard could put them off for life, especially boys, says Professor Lilian Katz.
There’s a picture in this story that – alt text says ‘Children in early years classroom’ and the label says “Children will soon learn to read even earlier in pre-school”. I think that should actually read – soon we will be attempting to force feed children with reading even earlier. You can’t make them actually learn earlier, no matter how hard you try.
Not really news though, is it?
