[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the school.  Our students used to bring home their books from their reading group but so many of them never returned the books, that the students no longer bring them home.  They keep them in a pouch on the back of their chair to reread independently when the teacher is working with other reading groups.  Depending on their level, the teacher has them learn the sight words in the guided reading book.  They might also discuss text features, text structure, etc at higher levels in addition to answering comprehension questions.  It is the time for the student to read a book slightly above their level so they can improve over time.  Frequent reading also builds fluency.  If your child is at that high of a level in 2nd grade, I am sure what they do in whole class instruction is basically below their level.  Look for books at a slightly higher level for your child to check out of the library.  Or read aloud a book that is higher than their level.  If your child is at that level, her group may not meet as frequently as other lower groups.  Her book is going to be longer and more complex anyway.[/quote]
