Regardless of whether the kids are from an advantaged background, you are still trying to assess each child, and when you have a large class with no aide, it just seems this type of assessment for each child would be inadequate because you are not able to really concentrate on each child for a good amount of time. This is why in our school, the kids are pulled out for reading assessments because it's too difficult for the teacher to do this alone with such a large class size. Also, I recall someone mentioning that it took the K teacher about 3 months or so (can't remember exactly, but it was in months, not weeks) to assess every kid's reading level from the start of the school year. That's one quarter gone before each child gets on the level he/she should be on. [/quote]

They must be requiring very detailed assessments.  That is ridiculous.  I assessed kids in far less than that.  In three months, the children should have made a lot of progress that would render the assessments quite dated.
