Kids should read at least 60 words at the start of Kindergarten

That's right. That is what the latest research on early literacy is saying. Students are behind if they cannot read 60 words by the time Kindergarten starts. Of course, the kids that can't do so likely will recieve intensive one-on-one intervention 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, on top of their regular instructional day. Regular instructional day. In kindergarten! I can't believe I am saying this! But yet it is true. This is what the latest research on "response-to-intervention" is saying. I spent the last 6 weeks in the library researching everything I could find on the subject. So Parents, be ready. If your child is not reading by the time Kindergarten starts, he or she is considered at-risk!
