I taught each of my kids to read before kindergarden, using Hooked on Phonics, plus phonics-oriented books by Dr Seuss. All are now adult and strong readers.
You have to if you want them to be able to read well. The public schools will not do this.
They want whites and asians capabilities to go down to the levels of blacks and hispanics. Which are dropping fast in urban areas.
I picked up on reading early and read often above my grade level.
The majority of the worthless school system didn’t care for it. I was treated accordingly for most of K-12. Zero love for my old school. The whole thing could burn to the ground tomorrow and I wouldn’t lose a moment’s sleep.
I also taught my kids to read and they are constant readers as adults. It is up to the parents now to make sure their kids are educated and are independent thinkers. The schools won’t.
