[quote=Anonymous][quote]What you are describing sounds like the level A readers that my K student can read right now. He can also do some level Bs with help (but not all). However, the expectation is that he will be at a high degree of aptitude at level C or the beginning of level D by the end of this year, which is considerably more difficult than what you are describing. He's mentioned several times how upset he is that his friend is a level C now and he isn't, and how he isn't good at reading, even though his teacher says he is progressing on grade level. I can definitely say that this system is not helping him to develop a love of reading.

I'm not familiar with those books and levels. Are they interesting? [/quote]

Not at all, IMO.  It is so much easier to get my son to try to work on reading with the easier Dr. Seuss books (e.g., Hooray for eyes, the foot book) that at least try to be funny or cute.  Though I think that the very beginner Dr. Seuss books are also easier because they have a lot more repetition of the same words over and over.[/quote]
