My child is 6. I have them do 10-20 min of guided reading daily, meaning I sit with them and help where needed. They read mostly on their own though. I started because school was basically not teaching anything and giving half assed explanations why not.

How much do you do? Wondering if I’m an asshole parent 😅

I remember being taught to read at home. And how to write at school, in those flashes back to kindergarten and 1st grade.

Maybe it’s always been that way? Sure there was vocabulary and reading comprehension but that built on an ability to read basic kid books I had at home before grade school.

Good job.
