I taught all of my kids to read with an annual budget of $0.00. My eldest was reading on a 12th grade level when he was 7. Maybe Mom could help instead of whining.

I was taught to read by age 5 by my grandmother, who only had an eighth grade education. I taught all four of our children to read. The best way to teach reading is to read to your kids and with your kids.

Agreed.

We've been homeschooling our 11 yr. old since 3rd grade. Our 5 yr. old has been homeschooled from the start. At age 4 he was reading short sentences in pre-k. Mom worked with him through the summer. When we got our Kinergarten materials, we noticed that he already knew everything in the book. Sent the materials back and ordered the first grade materials. He's loving it.

If we try hard enough we will find a way to teach our kids to succeed. It's all about loving them more than ourselves. We've cut back and done without alot of "things" in our life to make it possible for my wife and I to teach our kids.
