[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2’s are concerning [/quote] No, they’re not. It’s second grade, fer cryin’ out loud.[/quote] Right, a foundational year where kids are learning basics. Being below grade level in 2nd means they may not have mastered foundational skills on which they will be expected to build in 3-5. By the end of 2nd, kids are expected to be competent readers so that they may begin using reading to explore other concepts (science, social studies, math word problems). So reading deficiencies at the point can snowball. Math concepts get much more complex in upper elementary. If a child has not mastered addition, subtraction, basic geometry and fractions, skip counting, etc., they are going to struggle with complex multiplication, division, and other concepts. No one is suggesting a child should be above grade level at this stage. But you want your kid to be on track.[/quote]
