[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The focus in kindergarten is to get the kids who don't know all the letter sounds and sight words to learn letter sounds, begin to blend them and pick up some sight words. My reader was basically ignored in kinder. He had to read the same beginning books as everyone else. I kept telling myself kinder is about adjusting to elementary school, making friends, etc. He enjoyed school so I never talked to the teacher because I knew after volunteering in her class nothing was going to change. I let him read whatever he wanted at home and just worked on writing- proper letter formation, spelling (Not invented spelling), spacing, dictating sentences. [/quote]

This but I have to say my kid was bored every year with reading groups.  They always cap the highest group.  There are so many more kids that barely read and since they don't track the entire grade and put them all in one class, the highest reading groups meet very quickly and very far and few in-between.  It truly does suck.  I pulled one of my kids to private by 3rd because she was so beyond bored.  It is amazing how much better it is, but then again, I have to pay for it.   The other 2 are just fine being in the top groups and then just enjoy their school. [/quote]
