[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The first and second Harry Potter in first grade, for DS. DD can barely decode at the same age. Oh well. She'll get there. [/quote] Please do not have your child read anything like Harry Potter at that age. So many parents act like that is some badge of honor. Putting aside the fact that a child would miss a tremendous amount of the text, the child also then doesn't read picture books, which is how some wonderful vocabulary is gained. My second grader, who is an advanced reader (DRA of 28 at the end of first grade, which is as high as they test for that grade), just read a picture book last night that had "eye of the storm," "barometric pressure," etc. [/quote] Was it Freddy the Frogcaster?! My Kindergartener loves that book. [/quote]
