[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I think language art is challenging because they ask 2nd grader to determine key events and central message in a reading article. They also ask for novel study and write something after reading. My kid can read above grade level book, but it is challenging for him to write down summary and key important things. As I say, I am not from here. It seems like it requires a kid to grasp the main idea, supporting idea etc , remind me the style of writing a journal or essay or summarization not at my ES years.

PP here. This is not unusual at all.  Be grateful your child is getting this type of instruction!  If they are struggling now, know that they will get better with more exposure and practice.  This is only ES.  Go to your local library and consult with the librarian in the kids section:  get books with reading comprehension questions in the back.  This will give your kid more practice to read critically.  The goal is to pick up a text and to read critically, and to communicate the reader's thoughts clearly.  It is a process, and you have to be patient with the kids.  They will eventually get it.    [/quote]
