[quote=Anonymous]actually, our school is one of those that does stops testing at a certain point for kinders. they assume a child that age cannot pass the written component so they don't bother checking. had a long discussion with the principal about this at the beginning of the year and they had the reading specialist do additional testing for my dd but only because i asked.

she's a decent writer and actually passed the written comprehension questions for several levels above the cap according to the reading specialist and can pass the verbal comprehension at 7 levels above the cap. they are doing nothing to advance her in her class, however. she's still working with the rest of her fluent reader classmates on books that are at the cap.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some schools cap reading levels.  She might be at the top level offered.[/quote]

It's not so much that they "cap" levels, it's that beyond a certain level, there is a writing component required to advance to the next level.  If your child hasn't mastered the writing, he or she has not mastered the level.[/quote]

No, at our school the cap the level.  They won't test kindergartners past level J.[/quote]

OP here.  I wonder if that's true for ours also.  Our school is a little laid back (which I generally like).  Pp do you mind saying which school?[/quote][/quote]
