[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 553914"] I have worked in the elementary math department here for 5 years, including kindergarteners (5-6 yr olds). As someone already said, we encourage manipulatives and using their fingers at this age. In our school system, we don't start discouraging fingers until 2nd grade and even then there is some tolerance, depending on the child. Once they hit third grade it is strongly discouraged. As for the connection to reading, I've never seen that kind of a correlation so I really can't comment. [/QUOTE]
