[quote=Anonymous] Try not to worry to much about the inane grading system in MCPS, particularly as your child is only in elementary school. ESs are the unicorns of grading, they appear only occasionally, and sometimes unexpectedly. If your child has all Ps, fine. P can mean anything from average to above-average. ES is when that particular teacher feels she can't ignore how that student is head and shoulders above the rest and above the grade level. As a PP said, reading assessments are tied to comprehension of the text, and not only decoding and fluency, which means that the students has to express him or herself intelligibly to communicate ideas. You could work at home on conversing with your child and having her explain things to you. [/quote]
