What is your son learning this year in pre1a and which yeshiva? I send to a yeshiva in boro park and am not impressed with the info the teacher provided me when she called the mothers over the phone to introduce herself.

Hebrew or English?
My boys had rebbes in primary, and left the year with a high level kriah which is the biggest goal of the year (including all nekudos rules cold)
In English it’s not great, but my kids have mostly taught themselves to read and always read ahead of their age level. They read a lot from a young age and learn a lot from reading
I’m more than impressed with what my kids have learned in their schools
Especially from primary and first grade
Between kriah and teitch, they somehow are masters at setting up the boys to succeed in learning

Yea so the curriculum of lower elementary grades I have always found to be really really basic, but it’s actually imperative that they are thoroughly teaching all of these basics. As much as your child may already know, these things have to be super clear to them because it’s the foundation of all reading, writing, and math that they will learn later
It’s great to supplement at home (like I do) but it’s important for them to have these super basic curriculums. Especially in primary-3rd grade
