[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What level of reading is your 1st grader reading on? When should a parent be concerned? I have a 1st grader making progress but still only reading level B books. She’s at a well-known private on this board but looking for insight or maybe your kid took time as well and eventually caught up.

Thanks for your insight…[/quote]

The pace of learning reading is all over the board for kids at that age and school can only make such an impact. Since you say your child is making progress, they probably just need more practice and some time. The biggest readers in my experience are children reading with parents, sibling, someone else outside of school in little bits every single day. In the early years, the majority of the reading will be done by the parents/caregiver with the child just practicing a little in an easy book. Overtime, the parent/caregiver will read less and the child more. Throughout the parent/caregiver should continue to read interesting books (harder than child can read) to encourage love of reading. It is super frustrating (a kin to potty training), hang in there. [/quote]
