[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can ask for anything you want -- without knowing the culture of the school, none of us can know how it will be received. I'm confused, though, why you think a 5th grader won't get anything out of reading chapter books with the rest of the class. At that age, they are no longer learning how to read/decode, but instead engaging in higher order reading comprehension. If your child is gifted, surely they can learn to think more deeply about whatever books the class is reading.[/quote] Well, they don't discuss the books the teacher reads out loud or anything - if it were a book club type situation, I'd agree with you. They want to read more advanced, longer, and "interesting" books. [/quote] How much of 5th grade is read aloud time?[/quote]
