[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is in 3rd grade. Where can I find her reading level? Her report card just said ON.[/quote]

My child is also 3rd grade so I looked into this a few months back.

Do you have a MAP score?

There is a way to get Lexile from the MAP reading score and then you Lexile score can be used to determine potential books that would be on his level.

With the MAP score you can get and idea of where your kids is in terms of ranges in various grade levels:

I did this when my kid was in 3rd grade and saw there was a big disconnect between their map score and their reading level. I brought it up with the teacher and the following week, they had moved them to the appropriate group.[/quote]

I also don't put a lot of stock in the teacher-given reading assessments. They're often pressed to evaluate a lot of kids in a short period of time so some things inevitably slip through the cracks. Also, there's a tendency for this to be a bit of a conveyor belt i.e. last years teacher said you were at level X so this fall you're at X+1 even if you read 15 books over the summer.[/quote]

My first grader was only tested at 1 level passed her K level.  She was a early reader and I do not think her K teacher really gave her much thought.  Then he saw her reading a book brought from home and said something like...Hey can you read that book?  He retested her and she was a full grade level higher.[/quote]
