[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Kindergartner was assessed at Level 16 but we were told that since that level is the highest level for 1st grade, that they don't test beyond that. It's kind of annoying.[/quote] My K was assessed at 14, but we were also told that she would not be tested past 16. I understand that part of it is assessing her written work, so we're working on that. As far as why this is, I agree with the PPs. There just isn't enough differentiation. The kids who need the help reading get the teacher's time and attention. Our K teacher has to get ALL the kids in the class up to level 6 (I think?). So, she spends the most time with the kids who are below that level. Anyone above that level is left alone. Our K class has two reading groups that read above level 6, and they rarely meet - maybe once every other week? [/quote]
