[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To many it just means picking up a new book and reading it with little trouble, but without comprehension, it's not reading to me. I think a reader is a child who picks up new text, reads it, can retell it in detail (not just using pronouns), and can identify the theme/plot, the setting, and the message/what the author was trying to say. Anything short of that is just parlor tricks to me. Something to show Aunt June when she comes to visit. [/quote] Evidently most kids aren't readers until they're 9 or 10.[/quote] I don't know what school your kids go to but mine are in regular old public school and this is required by 1st grade. They've both read 2 to 3 grades above their reading level but even at 1st grade this is what their teachers were looking for to be "on level." By 2nd they were required to be able to write what they read which is a skill in and of itself. So no, not 9 or 10 yr olds. More like 6+[/quote]
