We spend the majority of our time on math as it is. She's already reading so I don't push that too much. If she ends up going to regular school in the future, she'll be way ahead of her peers if I taught reading and phonics as aggressively as I do math/science.
When I started 1st grade, I could read and so the kindly old nun got me out of my desk, put me in a corner with a stack of Reader's Digests, and that's where I spent the entire day until about 3/4 way thru the year, when the other students could also read. I learned a *lot* in those Reader's Digests, things I shouldn't have been privy to! I'm still surprised my mother allowed this to happen, but she was busy with my younger sibs at home and my irresponsible father. So perhaps I am projecting my experience onto her and wanting to make sure that she is not light years ahead of her peers. I suppose I should just let her go at her own pace and forget what others are doing. After all, that IS the reason I'm schooling her at home, now isn't it!
