I don't think pre-K is necessary, if you are working with your son to learn letters, numbers and reading to him, but are there really any cons to sending him to pre-K? I can understand your concern that he will be bored repeating topics he may already be familiar with. I had similar concerns with my daughter.
We decided to send her, for the socialization and to get her familiar with the school environment. She really enjoyed going. It helped reinforce the basic skills, and covered the knowledge in ways that she hadn’t seen before (using coins for math, hash marks for counting, etc…). She ended up being able to read simple book by the time she started kindergarten, and she made friends that ended up being in her Kindergarten class.
For us it was a very positive experience.
