[quote=Anonymous]My son's teacher sends home these Scholastic Guided Reading readers nightly, and wants feedback on the level of challenge. The first books she sent home were super easy, so I let her know they were "no trouble". She's sent home more difficult books, but they are still all very easy, I needed to help with one or two words on the last book (book in question had 76 words and too many "patterns" which he blows through), but I wouldn't say my child was "challenged".

Maybe I am overthinking this, but I feel weird always sending back feedback that says "easy" or "really no trouble". I'm wondering if my child reads with as much ease at school, or if he clams up. Maybe that's why the teacher is sending the easy books? (For what it is worth, we are reading F-G readers at home, and the teacher is sending D.) Is the teacher eye rolling at my comments, thinking I'm crazy? Do I mention this, or just continue as we are. I don't want to come off as if my child is smarter than he is, or that he needs special attention.

What would you do?[/quote]
