[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be so grateful if your could share actual examples of what your current or recent-past kindergartener in MoCo is (or was) reading and writing.

We just found out that we'll be moving to the DC area in a few months, likely to MoCo, and my six-year-old will have completed kindergarten in a system I think is radically different. I worry she will be underprepared for first grade.

I am searching and finding references to numbered reading levels that don't correspond to grade levels, a Washington Post reference to most kindergarteners being able to read [i]Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?[/i] (this does me no good, as mine has this memorized on account of hearing it read gazillions of times to her baby brother), and [b]the official Curriculum 2.0 guide is so frustratingly vague[/b]...

Please tell me what your kindergartener can (or could, ahead of entering first grade) read independently. What kind of words/sentences/stories can or could he/she write?

Thanks!! [/quote]

For a student to be be on grade level, MCPS expects reading levels 4-6 by the end of K, reading level 16 by the end of first grade, reading level M by the end of second grade, and reading level P by the end of third grade.

As a PP suggests, you can Google books by reading level. Here, for example: http://www.benchmarkeducation.com/reading-level-conversion-chart.html The reading levels are not MCPS-specific.[/quote]
