[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, MCPS teacher here--haven't checked the thread in a while.

60 minutes is the total amount of time that the teacher should be meeting with students for guided reading--to include all reading groups (some teachers might have up to 6 reading groups, so they may see 4 groups per day @ 15 minutes each).  Below grade level readers definitely need to be seen every day, so if your child is reading solidly on or above grade level, it is certainly possible they may only be seen in reading group two-three times per week.  If it's less than that, as a parent, I would be asking the teacher.  It is hard to manage, but a good teacher, especially in the primary grades, makes guided reading the priority in the classroom because it is the way kids learn to read!  
All of the PPs who have posted about kids not advancing in levels until their writing matches their reading are correct.  To advance in reading, students have to not only be able to decode and comprehend text, they have to be able to write in response to what they have read, which comes later, and does hold the progression up a bit.[/quote]
