OP here. It is his reading group, which consists of him and one other child. Two weeks ago, he was bringing home thin readers with K on the back. Last week, all those readers disappeared from his reading folder, and he had a chapter book that had a sticker on it saying "grade 2 to 4". I looked up the book on a leveled book list, and it was rated N/3.0. [/quote]

FYI, just because your child brings home a level N book does not mean they tested at that level.  Sometimes the teachers send home books at different levels for the kids to work with.  The true assessment is only done when they do the mClass testing which I believe is the beginning, middle, and end of year.

My child can read almost any book but tests at level K because of the writing.[/quote]
This thread is classic DCUM. OP raises a question about her child's progress through groups. Then she happens to mention his current group, and the DC Competimoms come out in force. "my kid is at that level too, your kid isn't really at that level, yeah, but can he really write at that level?"
Get over yourselves and stay out of it if you can't answer her actual question. OP, I would question the teacher about the hopscotching. It does sound like his group isn't meeting with the teacher often. But I'm not sure there is much you can do about it. MCPS is what it is.[/quote]
