[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The books they read at school are not meant to be an exciting story but texts short enough to read together and write about.   The writing is the part they are working on.    I would try to explain that versus talking to the teacher.     She's got a long way to go, it will be years of this.  My son has always been in the highest reading group (K through 3rd grade) and the books he has read have always been way beneath the level he reads at home.   I told him that's because he was working on his writing.[/quote]

Thanks, that's helpful.  I don't think that the "reading group" part is also the writing part, though, is it?  To hear her describe it, the reading group doesn't involve a writing component.  But then they have "writer's workshop" where they pick out a book and read it and write about it.  For that, she gets to pick a book she wants to read, so that's fine.   It would be good to actually know this stuff.  I suspect it differs from school to school.   But even if they do read short texts, i get the sense from her that it's all really basic words.  Is that how it's supposed to be?
But I think i'm going to wait a bit, see what the reading level says on the report card and if it jives with what I see at home.  Also, give it a couple weeks to shake out. [/quote]
