[quote=Anonymous]Exactly, PP. 5th graders who are reading and writing at a 4th grade level, and those who cannot decode "fat cat sat", will both be recorded as "not proficient" on state tests of grade level reading proficiency. But there is a world of difference in their middle school prospects the following year. Kids who are able to decode at a 3rd or even better 4th grade reading level in middle school will have some chance of getting ahead. The child who still can't sound out one syllable words in 6th grade? Is sunk. No amount of prereading, scaffolding, read aloud, word bank, pattern sentences, scanning and guessing, is going to meaningfully help this child.[/quote]
