[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the writing is about the grammar or spelling. Rather, it's about whether a child can articulate the answer to a question about what they read. In the younger grades, a verbal answer usually is sufficient. Comprehension should be part of reading level. FWIW - when we moved here when my DC was going into 2nd grade, DC got pegged at two grades below the level DC was at in our previous school district. I was surprised, and so was the teacher; the reading specialist had tested DC. The teacher stated that it was probably the verbal/written responses, which DC was not used to. Teacher wanted to work with DC for the next quarter and re-assess. Sure, enough, DC's reading level started to accelerate. By end of 2nd grade, DC was back to two grades above. That's not to say that every teacher/school does follow this. Maybe talk to the teacher first?[/quote]
