Q:
This list is insane. Most of these books are rated 2nd & 3rd grade level & should NOT be suggested reading for any 4-5 year old. Ridiculous!
Who, in their right mind, would ever push K's to read (note the article does not say, "have read to them"), this list of books. Talk about pushing our kids too much & too early. When are people going to realize that none of this works. Valid research by respected universities have proven that kids who are pushed too hard too early score no higher than their peers by 3rd & 4th grade. They all even out by late elementary & while reading to your pre-k child IS excellent, pushing them to read is ridiculous. News Flash: Doesn't help!
