2., therefore Brice knows all of her letters (upper and lowercase and all of their sounds) by heart. Last year, we did the letter work from Blossom and Root Early Years Vol. She loves playing with words and letters, loves to make up silly rhymes with me, and often tries to sound things out on her own, but she is not ready for kindergarten and I am in no hurry, so why rush into it? That’s the beautiful thing about homeschool–you can tailor the education around the needs of the individual child. She has not expressed any desire to “learn to read” yet. She wants to play, she wants to run and climb and jump. For my oldest, starting kindergarten at five made sense–she was very eager to learn to read, enjoyed sitting down to work at academic tasks, and craved the formal learning experience. But something shifted in me this spring as I sat down to plan out the coming year. My youngest daughter is turning five soon, and for the longest time I’d been planning to start kindergarten with her this fall.
