[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What level does the teacher assess your DD at? I found the teacher typically assess them much lower than what they can read at home. My son was assessed as a D in preschool when his preschool teacher think he reads at the second grade level. But the reading specialist did not think he was comprehending at that level.

I don't really care. I just let him choose whatever he wants to read. I don't think this assessments are always accurate. But it is really more about getting them to love reading than moving up rapidly in levels. My DS's school send home books that are way higher than his assessed level sometimes. Because they want the parents to help with reading to get them to comprehend better. Some like to send book that is easier than they can handle to build up confidence. I say it is all good. [/quote]

If you read this thread through, you'll understand that the reading teacher is probably assessing him using something like the DRA and, as a result, your son is not passing a certain level even if can decode ("read") the words on the page (meaning, to you, he can "read" the book.)[/quote]
