[quote=Anonymous]My kid has been assessed at a level 16 since the beginning of kindergarten (she's in first grade now, so over a year at this level).  Her teachers are been clear that it's because of the writing requirements, but are also clear that her writing is age-appropriate and that the writing requirement is not developmentally appropriate at this age.  I don't really care what her formal assessed level is, as long as the fact that it's not changing isn't indicative of a problem, and the teachers say it isn't. I know she's advanced in decoding and comprehension (can answer questions orally) but am not surprised the ability to independently write comprehension answers is taking longer to develop.  On the plus side,she just brought home a level m book in her reading folder, so her teacher is able to work with her group at higher levels while still working on developing the writing skills. I'm appreciative of teachers who can balance requirements and developmental appropriateness for individual kids.[/quote]
