[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our teacher formed them based on some of her stereotypes of who is a smart kid and who isn't. It took her about a month to put them into groups that actually match their abilities.

It was annoying because my child had been in the highest group all the previous years and testing showed he belonged in the highest group again that year.

Also the reward for being in the highest group these days is meeting every other month instead of weekly.[/quote]

+1. My two kids were always in the highest reading groups. It literally only meant they had the least amount of small group guided reading time and extra read-to-self time. It’s no great prize. [/quote]

In which grade? I know in K my kid was in the highest and they didn’t meet with the teacher as frequently. But in 3rd it shouldn’t be that different don’t you think? My kid did well on the MAP R which is why his reading group assignment makes no sense to me[/quote]

NP. My child's great met much less frequently than others for K-3rd. There were a few whole months where they did not meet. 4th/5th was at CES and there were no groups. Everyone read the same set of books and they had reading or English every day which was a great change.[/quote]
