[quote=Anonymous][quote]This is a spin off of the Common Core thread.

A poster is saying that the Common Core standards are bad, the standards are too high for kids with learning disabilities.

So my question is, what would standards look like, that were variable enough to allow for such differences in ability?

For example:

By the end of 3rd grade, students will be able to:

(reading fluency standard)

- read a grade level text (if they are reading on grade level) with fluency and comprehension 
- read slightly below grade level test (if they have mild learning disabilities) 
- read at a primer level (if they have severe learning disabilities) 
- begin to know letter-sound correspondences (if they have severe phonological disability) 
- identify the front and back of a book (if they have never been in school before)

etc?

You would like to have different standards for every different ability? Or what exactly?

This would encourage far more testing.  It is not a "standard".  [/quote]
