[quote=Anonymous]I can't understand what is required to get an ES.  My first grader reads at a level 14.  At the conference, teacher said she's above target and doing great.  Yet, only a P.  I asked the teacher why this is, and she explained that an ES is only for when the kid goes above and beyond what is required, or shows exceptional skill at something.

But, if the required first grade reading level is 6 (not sure if it really is 6) and my kid reads at 14, isn't that above and beyond??  This isn't making sense to me.  I checked the MCPS site, but that wasn't very helpful.

I asked the teacher how I could help DD improve at home, but she said DD is doing fine and to just keep reading with her.  If there's something I can to to help her earn that ES, I'd like to work on it with her.  I just can't figure out what exactly the teacher is looking for to demonstrate that my kid is more than 'proficient'.

Any advice from parents who have BTDT?  We're new to MCPS so any insight is appreciated.[/quote]
