My daughter barely passed the reading SOL overall, but did not pass one of the comprehension subtests. We had had other concerns with reading in third grade that her teacher and the school dismissed. We ended up taking her in for some private testing that summer and found that she had some previously undiagnosed Dyslexia and other learning disabilities. The teacher seemed to have given her all As and Bs - even though we could tell she was not reading for her assignments and didn't seem to grasp concepts she had learned when we studied at home.
In the Fall, we were able to use the SOL results along with the private tests to get the school to do a full battery of testing. She ultimately got an IEP and now she is in a class with a fantastic special ed teacher who has helped her tremendously! She hated going to school in third grade and now loves it!
It could also have just been a bad day for your kid, but look at it as part of the whole picture!
What county was this in? The teacher sounds incompetent, if that's the whole story.
