Here is a great article about True reading readiness (instead of forced reading readiness, which is a common occurrence today). Kohen who is now 6 turning 7 in the fall is now beginning to show true reading readiness. Child psychologist David Elkind has devoted his professional life at Tufts University to studying the costs of “hurrying” children. He points out that true reading readiness only emerges once a child has attained the neuro-cognitive milestone of syllogistic reasoning (“All men are mortal; Socrates is a man; thus Socrates is mortal”), which dawns during the concrete operational stage of cognitive development. This “con-op leap” happens around age seven, and is a biologically based milestone, just like the shedding of baby teeth or the onset of puberty. mothering/community/a/is-your-child-ready-to-read-a-checklist
