[quote=Anonymous]My 7-year old first grader has been scoring well on phonics assessments for reading, but consistently low on comprehension assessments (FCPS). At the beginning of the year, I did not worry too much as she was moving from basic BOB books over the summer to really reading, and I figured her brain is more focused on simply figuring out the word. However, now she can read fairly well enough, but comprehension scores on unir assessments come back scored low.

I know I need to talk to her teacher for more input, just crowd sourcing anyone else who has experienced anything similar. She generally does not like to read, will not voluntarily do it much. She seems easily discouraged by words she doesn't know and gets bothered and wants to stop, she only wants to read things she knows already so feels more confident. We do also read to her every night, but will not try to read farther on her own for any new/unfamiliar book though we tell her she can when we finish reading and leave the room at bedtime.

I want to tread carefully because I don't want her to hate reading and she already seems to view it as a chore though she loves hearing stories and being read to. [/quote]
