Thank you for writing this up with so much depth! As a former public-school middle-school English teacher, I knew teaching reading and writing for first-timers was “harder than it looked,” but now I think it’s even harder than that! This is so incredibly thoughtful. I am SO impressed.

I’m now attempting Waldorf-style homeschool, still at the preschool level–totally overwhelmed by the amount of resources available but will definitely be checking out everything you have to offer! This is probably not a fair question to leave in a blog comment (too big), but if you felt like writing about it, I would really value your opinion! 🙂 I really respect the Waldorf emphasis on literature over learning to read easy things right away–but my nearly-5-year-old is really interested in text–she asks me to write her name and copies it over, she asks me what letters are. Without needing to rush it at all … would it be “bad” to let her start her letters early?
