My oldest will be turning 5 next month and I wanted to start him on the kindergarten program this fall. He is already reading, he is still sounding out some words, but really picking it up quickly and moving right along. Should I go ahead with the phonics program and just move quickly through it? Does the kindergarten get to really reading or just focusing on letters and sounds, because he is definitely past that. I am just not sure if I should start there and then just go as quickly as he can through it or should I just move straight into the first grade curriculum and just go at a gentle pace. He is young even for kindergarten I think - but he is more than ready academically. Just trying to get thoughts from everyone who have already been there done that. I have three boys - my oldest is almost 5, then i have a 3 year old and a 15 month old...and so excited to be starting homeschooling!
