Is there "reading" enrichment in MCPS first grade?

It was our school. The highest reading group was still only one grade ahead, by design, at our school. The enrichment teacher pulled out a half dozen kids total from 4 classes and gave them some more difficult short stories and pushed them to do more analysis.

Not on the report card, but children can bring in their own books and, of course, there are the various reading groups. My daughter unwittingly made a reputation for herself when she walked into first grade with The Hobbit.

My son loooooves that book. He got it for his 1st Communion and read it in his desk until he was done. He reads it at least once a year.

Do you mean like a book club? Our elementary school has it, they meet once a week during recess for 8 weeks. It’s lottery, last year we got lucky and both my kids could participate, this year only my daughter made the lottery.
