sommer fødselsdag

Q My son will barely be six years old when he starts first grade in September. His kindergarten teacher is suggesting that he go to pre-first grade -- she believes he's too young. What should I do? A School can be difficult for children (especially boys) with summer birthdays. In most states, a child with an August birthday will be placed in a class with children almost a year older. This sets up the child for comparison with children whose behavior, fine motor skills, and developmental level are more advanced.

You do have a difficult decision. Research has shown that retention increases the likelihood that a child will drop out of school when he reaches the legal age to do so. You also don't want your son to be frustrated each year when he is in a class with older children.

Tal med en skolevejleder. Spørg skolen, hvilke prøver den tilbyder for at hjælpe dig med at beslutte. Udviklingsscreeningstest såsom Geisel School Readiness Test kan hjælpe dig med at forstå dit barns parathed til første klasse. Spørg også, hvordan rådgiveren observerer dit barn i klassen. Rådgiveren kan så give en objektiv udtalelse om deres parathed sammenlignet med andre børn. Du kan også observere første- og førsteklasses klasser og tale med lærerne for at finde ud af, hvad der forventes af dem i hver indstilling.
