[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Sligo there is both advanced and regular English.  To be in advanced you need to be at a reading level w at the end of 5th and 215 on MAP R. These are on grade level.  So
I imagine that the regular is actually remedial and advanced is at grade level and above. [/quote]

So at SSIMS there is a similar benchmark but it's for the Reading class.  6th grade students who aren't above grade level take a Reading class in addition to English (the name has changed, think it's now called Digital Literacy) anyone above the benchmark has the option of beginning a foreign language instead.[/quote]

At my daughter's MS, DL is required, as it should be.  All 6th graders take it and then have the option of taking a language in grade 7.  Regardless of reading level, DL offers all students important skills in reading expository text and understanding the basics of research.  There are websites that will allow students to level the text.  So while all students may be reading about the science behind a volcano eruption, those at higher levels will read more challenging articles.  [/quote]
