Are children entering Kindy suppose to be able to reconize all the ABC's?
I have 4 boys going in the Fall (and 1 to Pre-K) and all but 1 can tell me wich letter I am holding up (even the Pre-k boy) . For him I even do them in order (not tryign to 'trick' him.) I knew he could not do this last spring and we worked on it at storytime (as a group). With his August birthday there was a lot of talk about sending him to pre-k. They decided to send him to Kinder.
Now that it is one week before everyone heads to school we have been doing more ABC and 123 @ story time (we PLAY a lot in the Summer
) I am so worried that he STILL can not tell me the letters!! (he only knows the ones in his name)
He also puts his shoes on the wrong feet everyday. I have tried to teach him a couple of differnt ways to tell right from left and it hasn't helped at all. He has a hard time even remembering what 'trick' i tough him to tell the differance.
He is very shy when asking me for anything, but speaks well when telling me a story. He often whines or cries when given the smallest direction.
Socialy he is great. He plays well, is very active and loud (not shy or meek like with adults) when he plays with the other children.
