[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is the same age and loves to read too. He got a B and a 2 for effort. Part of reading is the written responses that go with it and he half asses those just so he can be done. So I agree with his grade and I told him so. It's only the first quarter.[/quote] We've had the same experiences. Reading grades often are derived from written responses to what the child has read. My son was a poor writer; loved reading but hated writing. He could give thoughtful answers orally but if you asked him the same question and requested a written response, he would give 3 word answers just to get it over with, showed not in depth thinking. Thus, a grade of "C". Once they allowed him to turn in typewritten answers his grades went up. My daughter is not as proficient a reader as he was at that age, but her writing is fine, so she is getting straight As.[/quote]
