What picture books for 5 year olds? DS1 is 5.5 and in k.
Finally, I thought I would add that I think the focus in k should be more on number fluency that reading. So many people in this country develop a math phobia, and if we can hit it hard in k, maybe we can combat that early. It is much easier to teach an older child to read (when they are developmentally ready) than an older child comfort with numbers.
