[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. One step forward by amending that insane N/I/P/ES grading system and two steps back by eliminating reading levels.

Are the kids going to know their reading levels? How is it that we're supposed to pick out books from the library if we have no idea of what their reading level is? My kid was reading above grade level in 1st last year, so the teacher did not send home books for reading at home (that was only for kids below grade level). We had to go get him books from the library. He complained that every book we took out was too hard, unless it was obviously too easy. This continued until I took out a whole pile of books that were listed one below his level! Without that reading level as a guide, the complaining would have continued.

I'm pulling my hair out with MCPS.

The library does not show whether a book is x level or y.  You should be able to pick a book by having you child read 1 page and determine if he gets most but nit all words easily.[/quote]
