I had several go to school this year and one did not know their letters, upper or lower case,...mom knew he wasn't ready and my opinion on the subject but they had a third baby....can't pay daycare but for 2.
I feel bad for him because kindy will start quickly with reading and a child needs those letter recognition and sound of each letter skills. This child was a whiz on the computer but he appears to me to have "dyslexia"....everything jumbles up to him???? I assume his teachers will pick up on this as well.
