[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, their writing has to match their reading level. They may be able to read at a higher level, but until they can write and analyze at the same level, they won’t move up.[/quote] This system caused no amount of anxiety for my kid. They were reading several grade levels ahead of their peers but was kept in a lower reading group (reading basically picture books) because their writing lagged. Turns out they had dysgraphia. I mention this to say: if your kid is bored or not challenged in their reading group, push for a higher reading level and try to get support for the writing issues. My kid eventually was allowed to do voice to text and/or have a scribe. Also know that writing instruction is pretty poor within MCPS. We had to go elsewhere and now that they've gotten explicit writing instruction, my kid is above grade level in that area as well.[/quote]
