[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another reason why you can’t determine what a 2.1 means (as opposed to your teacher) is this:

This book:

http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/book/inside-house-haunted#cart/cleanup
and this book:

http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/book/magic-school-bus-fights-germs#cart/cleanup

are both 2.1 “grade level” equivalent books.  One is a DRA of a 16 and one is a DRA of a 24.  That means one is a grade level of almost the end of 1st grade and one is closer (but not that close) towards the end of second grade.

You can look up the level on Scholastic's website.  Like today she fluently read a book with DRA 18.  I'm not saying she's genius, I'm just saying she shouldn't ve bringing home from school books for 3 year olds.[/quote]

DRA 18 is not the fluency level alone. That is usually the easiest piece to the reading puzzle.  Did an educator pass her on a DRA level 18 for both fiction and nonfiction?  If not, she is not on that level academically. [/quote]
