[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 21:59 - to clarify, I didn't mean that OP's child isn't at a level M, what I meant was does that info get documented anywhere?[/quote]

Yes, on the middle of the right side of the front page of the new report card is a graph that shows reading level.  There are gray bands showing the grade level expectations for each grade each quarter, and your child's reading level is shown by a dot on the graph.

Here's the report card if you want to see: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/info/grading/Curriculum-2.0-report-card-grade1-en.pdf

The RL standards and the RI standards go farther than the reading level tests.  In order to pass a level M test, for example, a student needs to be able to read a Level M text with fluency and accuracy, answer a few questions, and retell the story with the basic events in order.  The RL and RI standards include things like:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.1.9 Compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of characters in stories.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.9 Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same topic (e.g., in illustrations, descriptions, or procedures).

Sometimes kids can have high reading levels, but have difficulty putting higher level concepts into words.  Those kids will likely score P or ES on Foundational Skills, and I on the others.[/quote]
