[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

I completely understand that DD's grades in ES don't matter.  I am not going out to get her a tutor.  No way.  I'm really not concerned about the grade.

I think 16:20 might have hit on what I'm looking for from the teacher - a specific thing that I could work on with DD to help her improve her reading abilities.  [b]There his obviously something that other kids (who get ESs) are doing better.[/b]  I'd like some advice - e.g. work on DD's punctuation, work on her addition of two-digit numbers, or whatever.

If she's not getting ESs, there is obviously room for improvement, right?  I'd like to help her![/quote]

Why does it matter that there are other kids who are doing better? There will always be other kids who are doing better, just as there is always room for improvement. Even if your child is getting straight ESs.[/quote]

Of course there will always be kids who are doing better!  I get that.  My kid loves gymnastics and recognizes that there are other girls who are way better than she is.  Her coaches have been great, because they tell her exactly what she needs to do to improve.  I'm looking for that same kind of feedback, I think.  I'm not a teacher, so I'm not exactly sure what I could/should be doing.

I feel that if I knew exactly what an 'ES' entailed, I could help DD improve in those areas.  Even if she doesn't get the ES, at least I can get her on the right track.
