[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 552899, member: 14557"] Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I want to share an anecdote. My difficult child did that too till he was almost 8 I think. He has no learning difficulties, he just very strongly thought that it would be much better if Saturday would come right after Monday or Tuesday. He wouldn't have mind if it had right after Sunday. He simply saw it as a error in this world, that so many weekdays existed :bigsmile: He did have difficulties in understanding some things simple are and are not matters of opinion or likely to be changed. If something is a clear error, it simply is so, if you ask him. And five weekdays and only two for weekend is certainly a huge error. If your school allows that two years to learn to read, don't worry too much yet. Our kids start to learn to read when they are seven. But half in fact know how to read before that, because it seems that 6 is very typical age to learn easily. It can be so also for J. Also after kids do learn, they catch up quickly. For example they have done studies in our school system and while differences in reading at the beginning of first grade (when kids are mostly seven or will soon to turn seven) are huge, the differences in the end of second grade are much smaller and not at all predictable. Many kids who didn't read when starting first grade are best readers of their class after two years. [/QUOTE]
