[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an APS teacher (upper elementary but not 5th). I also have 3 kids in APS. We have a constant read aloud going in our class. We start one book and as soon as we finish we move on to the next one. Usually if we have time at the end of the year we do book clubs where we group students and assign them books and they meet and discuss them. We also have plenty of books in the classroom and students can and do choose to read independently when they have time after finishing work or when we have a spare 10-15 minutes here or there.

As a parent, of my 3 kids, 2 are voracious readers, the oldest and youngest. My middle one reads for school (he’s in HS) without complaint and usually enjoys the book. But he doesn’t read on his own for enjoyment like my other 2 kids do.

If you want to test your child you can see where they stand by giving the end of year DIBELS yourself. It’s 2 short tests and it’s free to print online. [/quote]

Thanks for the perspective that is a great resource.[/quote]
