[quote=Anonymous]Her teacher will assess kids in the first week or two of school and adjust accordingly. I actually really like Common Core math (at least as it is implemented at our school) for its ability to adapt to very different math levels within the same lesson. My child is about the same math level and we had a great kinder experience this past year with a teacher who just adjusted lessons slightly to accommodate. I have also found that reading in general these days is pretty well tailored to kids' levels because of the big shift towards things like guided reading. But as a PP noted, don't be surprised to learn that your child's comprehension is not at the same level as her decoding (common in early readers)--it's the teacher's job to have her read at the level she is comprehending until that evens out, even if it may feel like she could read much harder books.[/quote]
