[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to see the prescribed methodology for determining ON vs. ABV for reading level.  Seems like there are a lot of kids mis-evaluated, like yours may have been.  And ABV is a central criterion for the magnet pool.

Yes.  There are many, many more MCPS students who would benefit from enrichment than are provided it, to speak nothing of the paucity of magnet seats.  They could go back to rank-ordering selectees for that so that those with greatest ability/need are offered (they aren't going to), but that would still leave multiples more above the bar representing qualification/need than land in the magnet programs.[/quote]

For the PP whose DC is in kindergarten, I wouldn't stress about being only "on" grade level after only a half-year of school.  I imagine there's barely sufficient time for an accurate assessment.  FWIW, my DC started kindergarten not knowing how to read a lick because her preschool was play-based and not academic.  By the end of 1st she was doing chapter books and has been consistently above grade level since then.  Your DC has plenty of time to develop as a reader.  [/quote]

My kid was on a similar trajectory. She had a rough year during virtual kindergarten was very resistant to learning how to read and now she's devouring chapter books. [/quote]
