> Of course, this all assumes an effective pre-K reading program in the first place.

Pre-k is preschool aka kindergarten?

Is this really needed? It's really stressful for kids under 5 or 6 to read and is there a big enough statistical difference in outcome enough to rob them of some of their early youth?

I started reading around 6 years old and I was probably ahead of the vast majority of kids within 6 months.

Kids starting around 6 years old have much better focus and also greatly enhanced mental abilities overall.
