[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sorry for another reading group thread, but it didnt feel right to hijack somebody elses thread with question aimed in different direction. My DC is NOT an advanced reader, didnt read at all prior to K. Now DC is at level E and I think it is too advanced. DC has been progressing steadily through levels per books sent home and is proud of progress. BUT he doesnt know at least 40-50% of the words in the book on first read and doesnt sound them out (I dont think he actually knows "sound out" concept). On second go he "reads" the book well, bu tI believe it is mostly due to memorization. We read at home with scholastic readers and he is solidly at level A (no issues) and can read 80% of level B. I am reluctant to raise my concern with teacher but am also worried that DC will be in higher group without mastering the basics? WWYD? [/quote]

The kid isn't supposed to be working on books with reading group that he can read easily on his own.  That would be pointless.  The purpose is to help him learn how to handle words that he would otherwise have trouble with.  [/quote]
