But they're showing on average, it doesn't really make a difference.
It's really more about preparing kids for kindergarten when it's their time to go.
But again, it's such an individual difference because there's so many, there's such variety and differences in the way kids are prepared and ready for that transition to kindergarten.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of things going on.
They're older, and so there's a mismatch with their cognitive development.
There's this kind of asynchronous cognitive development, where in some ways they're more mature than their peers, and other ways they're a little more immature, which is the reason why they delayed school entry in the first place.
And I think also a lot of the difficulties that students have persist even when you delay school entry.
And so the kids who struggle with those early reading skills end up being adolescents who struggle with reading.
But now they're the oldest kid in the class who's struggling with reading.
So you see how it kind of follows them.

important for parents to tap into their reasons because parents are going to have their own expectations of a school and the school is going to have their own expectations for children entering kindergarten.
And oftentimes there can be a mismatch between a parent's expectations and a school's expectations.
So really understanding what are the school's expectations for your child entering kindergarten?
Do they expect your child to come in knowing how to write their name?
and knowing how to identify the sounds that go with letters, right?
The early precursors to reading.
I mean, that is going to be incredibly important because you're going to know where your child is in those specific areas, whether it be language, whether it be those early academic skills or their social emotional functioning.
