[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 557409, member: 14557"] It's so easy to worry and make yourself to believe the worst :winking: But J seems to be getting by just nicely. Of course he may have some learning differences, but he is a bright boy, he will still learn. Expectations between the systems seem to vary a lot. Our kids start first grade, and learning to read, on the year they turn 7. And it is common to postpone even that if a child is immature for the age, especially boys born in last months of the year (cut off date is first of January) are easily postponed to start year later. And kids are expected to learn to read during first or second grade. And still our kids do just fine in international comparisons on reading skills when they are older. Learning early doesn't seem to bring much of the advantage in this. At least teachers here say, that it is very common, that in the end of the second grade two kids are in the same level on reading even if other one learned to read even before starting first grade and other one learned on the fall of second grade.
