United to Counter The Common Core Agenda Through Mobilization

From the article:  "Two major studies confirmed the value of play vs. teaching reading skills to young children.  Both compared children who learned to read at 5 with those who learned at 7 and spent their early years in play-based activities.  Those who read at 5 had no advantage.  Those who learned to read later had better comprehension by age 11, because their early play experiences improved their language development."
