Part two on teaching reading in kindergarten. At Waldorf schools, kindgergarten is play-based, with formal reading instruction coming in first grade. From the article posted earlier: Two major studies confirmed the value of play vs. teaching reading skills to young children. Both compared children who learned to read at 5 with those who learned at 7 and spent their early years in play-based activities. Those who read at 5 had no advantage. Those who learned to read later had better comprehension by age 11, because their early play experiences improved their language development.
