AT WHAT AGE DO CHILDTRN NEED TO START READING

The answer to this questions is not a straight forward answer. It depends on the kind of parents and the child.
Some parent don't bother rushing their child when it comes to learning to read. They rather wait for the child to reach 6 years before he/she starts reading. Some parents are in haste to see their child reading. They want their child to start reading as early as 3 years old. This is no mistake because it is very possible.

The child in question may be slow when it comes to learning. Once the parents are aware of this, they tend not to rush that child. The child may be having a kind of learning difficulties. What most parents don't know is that this learning difficulties can be corrected or reduced. The longer they wait to help such child, the harder it becomes. I have seen parents that don't expect much from their child while young, but as the child grows old they suddenly start expecting the child to be performing well.

Looking at the educational demand, you will notice that much is expected from children of nowadays compare to the past. The curriculum continues to be developed from time to time and more and more things are added. In order to meet up with the new curriculum, it is expected of a child to start reading earlier than before.

The minimum age for a child to start reading now is 4 years old, maximum is 5 years old for challenged child. Failure to read at this particular age brings about difficulty in understanding what the child is taught as he/she grows older because lapses as been created right from their childhood.
