Home-Schooling parents take heart! According to a recent survey in the UK, an average of TWENTY PERCENT of children leave infant school and progress up to Primary School without being able to read. At Primary School some children as much as 9 or 10 years old will be placed in classes with children two or even three years younger in order to help them become literate.
Even without any survey figures I am happy to hazard a guess that this would never apply to children who are home-schooled!
What a sad reflection on the education methods that are used now in comparison to when I was a child. And how sad to think of children growing up without experiencing the wonderful benefits of reading.
