[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading levels are utterly meaningless for this reason - they test the child reading aloud. When you are not reading aloud, you can read more fluently and faster, "inside your head" and that can't really be assessed accurately.[/quote] The assessment seems superficial at best. Further, it seems likely schools game the system.Not a huge surprise since teachers and principals are judged based on these metrics. For example, this past year my kid had gained 4 levels between September and early April. Miraculously, they had gained 10 more when they were assessed a month later![/quote]
