My main concern is, as an unschooler, my son is probably not at the same reading level as someone his age in public school. I keep getting bombarded by family that he's "behind" or is getting behind. I'm just worried that he might get made fun of if he doesn't read well. I read in other groups that their unschoolers sometimes didn't start reading until 9 or 10 years old. How can I make sure this won't be a problem with a group like Cub Scouts? Or are there any other groups I could sign him up for that I wouldn't have to worry about ridicule?? We were also considering 4H... Thank you!!! Like Comment (i.redd.it)

Learning to read: My oldest is 7.5 yr old in "second grade" and has always been "unschooled" She wanted to learn to read. I bought the good and beautiful literature curriculum. The kinder prep and then kinder curriculum. Plus bob books, letter flip cards, wooden letters etc. The curriculum comes with videos which we love so far. (Before this we did the usual closed captions on, playing games, video games, teach your monster to read app, and abc mouse) It's not going great tho. I'm getting frustrated, i don't know why. And she is getting frustrated. And now our joy of learning is not there for this topic. The prep course is a lot of like vowels and two letter sound blending. But i get why this is hard to learn because it isn't practical. Because it isn't even words yet. I'm thinking because she is older i need to maybe move on to harder. But at the same time "they" keep stressing, they need to know the sounds all letters make and how to blend before moving on. Blah. It's been challenging in society because 1. Her acting class for her age group she is the only one who can't read. 2. In our homeschool coop she is the only one who can't read in her age group. 3. At girlscouts they are all her age and can read and write and she can't. (I have feelings about this on my end like I'm doing her a disservice, so looking for support on this from my community please ) When i talk to her about it she is fine with it she advocates for herself and says i can't read yet please help me, and they do. And i keep telling myself, it's normal for homeschool kids to be behind in this. That's my mantra. She can't excell at all subjects at once and she certainly is advanced in other aspects. So for those who have older kids who have been unschooled by you and can read and write. How did this go in your household? How did they learn? What was your journey. Can you please share. 9 いいね! コメントする 送信
RADICAL Radical Unschooling Top contributor Emilie Holzinger Jul 31, 2023 Has anyone unschooled a child who organically learned to read/write on their own like a child who naturally teaches themselves how to stand and walk? And at what age did this happen please? My child is 8.5 and i recently went to a homeschool event where a reading tutor expressed her disappointment that i missed the window and now my child will struggle I was under the impression that my child would naturally learn as her desire grew as with all things in this human life. But would love some anecdotes to support us in this unschool journey. Thanks! Thank you! ①70 189 comments
