[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference in advanced vs on grade level reading really begins to even out as they get older. For now, I would just make sure that your child has plenty of access to good, interesting books and make sure that they (at least occasionally) are choosing books that are just a little bit above their current level[/quote] This is not always the case. Plenty of students continue to make gains. Have you ever heard of the Matthew effect? I teach in a Title One school and most of the students beginning in kindergarten know very little in terms of academic language, early math concepts, phonemic awareness, etc. Most of them learn this within the nest few years but their peers at my son's school have know this for years before starting kindergarten. Very few of the students at my school ever "catch up" to those students at my son's school. [/quote]
