That's not the problem.  The problem is that you said you don't need to any formal assessments to know your daughter's level.[/quote]

I don't.  I know how fluently she reads.  I know which words are difficult for her and she sight words she has memorized. I know which sounds she's getting right and which she's struggling with.  I know what she comprehends and what she does not.

You don't need to constantly test children to know where they are.  If you pay attention to them, you know exactly where they are.

So I don't approve of excessive testing in our schools.  It's a crutch, and instead of serving as means to an end it takes over as a main focus.[/quote]

[b]Different PP. The thing is, most of us are able to handle this issue ourselves rather than going on and on about it. I already gave you what I have done in this instance. I started out saying that I thought it was too late in the season if you need to go back and find my post. Just ask the teacher if my DC can try a harder book. You seemed to ignore that advice since you never responded to it and have gone on and on and on about all that you know about your child but not what you can do for your child. This is any easy thing to fix. It doesn't take a weekly forum topic on this subject just about every week here and pages and pages of responses and retorts[/b].[/quote]

OP... [b]get your daughter some books that are at the level you feel she should be reading at.[/b]  It seems to me you are more intent on telling us how useless the teacher is than you are about making sure your darling daughter is challenged in reading.[/quote]
