[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st grader is reading at a level J, which I believe is higher than 14.  Reading above a grade level doesn't mean an automatic ES, as you have just learned.  And really, in MCPS, there are so many kids that read above grade level that it has almost become expected - a "P" grade.   "Reading" in MCPS is not just about what level reading group you are in.

To get an ES, the child must show consistently a deeper understanding of the subject matter being taught; be able to make inferences/connections not taught by the teacher.  This is very subjective and cannot be defined using a formula (ie, 98% = A+, 95%= A, etc..).  And again, it must be consistent.

My older DC has had a few ESs (not all) in the reading category in 2nd/3rd grade.  This DC has always read way above grade level, but also does demonstrate a deeper understanding of what DC is reading.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for trying to explain.  It sounds like it's more tied to comprehension.  Maybe this is the issue.  [/quote]

PP here.. Yes, it is very much tied to comprehension in this case, and possibly making connections to other things they've read.  I think in MCPS, the "reading" category is also tied closely to written comprehension as well, so you could look at how your DC is doing in this area.[/quote]
