[quote=Anonymous]I have a 1st grader and an older child. My 1st grader is reading much better and at a much higher level at home than my older child did when he was in 1st grade. They are 2 years apart so its not that long ago and my younger child is substantially stronger in reading than my older child. What is strange is that my younger child is in a much, much lower reading level than my old kid was in 1st grade. He gets ES grades in writing so it doesn't appear to be an issue where his fluency is high but his writing and ability to provide comprehension is low. There are several parents with the same younger/older child age range and they are experiencing the same thing. The teacher makes a point that younger child is in one of the highest reading groups which also seems very odd considering how the low the level is compared to what kids were assessed at last year and 2 years ago.

The scales that they used haven't changed but are they trying to reduce the range in reading groups so no one is more than 1/2 year or a 1 year ahead?[/quote]
