[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b] Being 9 or 10 but having a reading disability so you still are in a reading group with 5-6 year olds can be a real blow to the social / emotional development of the child. [b]Not advancing because you learn slower also leads to lack of engagement. [/quote] Yep, that's how things are done here in America. We worry about hurting our poor, delicate kids' feelings. We don't want our kids to feel bad about their abilities, so we should keep mixed reading groups? How ridiculous. And, if that's your argument, do you really think that if you're a 9 year old with a reading disability, you enjoy being in a group of kids more advanced than you? So that you can be reminded about how much you don't know? If it is a true reading disability, the kid really needs some good, solid one-on-one attention from a reading specialist. Just throwing him/her into a group that's too far above his/her reading ability seems useless.[/quote]
