[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how do you know your child is the top reader? i volunteer in my child's classroom and only have a sense of who is in what broad category. that is, who's still learning the alphabet and who can read pretty fluently but no idea who is the "highest" reader or the "lowest."[/quote]

I was wondering that too; plus how on earth do you know what is going on in your child's classroom all day?  Are you there or are you actually believing that your child is giving you an accurate picture of the whole day? I'd talk to the teacher before concluding that she is just coloring all day. In the mean time, read to her and discuss what you are reading. It builds vocabulary and comprehension.[/quote]

I am not the OP, but was given this information at the first parent conference. The teacher told me that my kid is the top reader and they dont have any other kid close to his reading ability in the class. Then she explained how they are challenging him. They have formed a group of top readers from all kindergarten classes. This group gets together to work on higher level stuff when rest of the classes are going through alphabet and basic sound study.

Prior to teacher telling me about his ability, I had no idea where he stood in terms of his reading ability in his class. However I knew that he was a good reader for his age.[/quote]
