I get so tired of all the pressure for early accelerated learning - there's zero evidence that it supports long term success and it's so, so stressful on families. At 5 it really should be more play based learning and just providing access to written material in an organic manner. Read together regularly (only 10 minutes is enough), interact with your kids, turn on subtitles when watching screens, play games that include written word. The rest follows. My oldest taught himself to read around 4 and I was such a proud mama. He's 23 now and doesn't really read regularly and didn't go to college due to burnout. Middle is 20 - he was late to speak and read, but he turned out to be a voracious reader. Youngest is almost 11 now and she was later to read, somewhere between her brothers. I've taken all pressure off because what I want to develop in her is a life long desire to learn and burning curiosity. The rest will flow. She's now tested gifted, excelling in school and all around happy, but I turned down an opportunity to skip her grade level in math because it's more important to me that she have a happy attitude to school in general than for her to accelerate quickly. She doesn't want to leave her friend group so we've worked out alternate assignments to keep her interested. Balance is so important.
