I messed up the quote function so I am reposting.

I say this as a parent with two kids who maxed out the tests regularly (one AAP, one not) and a third who is below level or on the cusp

For the two ahead, their response was how nice. For my kid who is behind, they are very interested and make sure I know at every turn how important meeting DRA benchmarks is.

DRA is not important for kids who are advanced in reading. I don' think they ever mentioner it once in AAP.

If you have 2 3rd graders - one is reading at a DRA level (decoding/comprehension) of Magic Treehouse, the other is reading at a DRA level of Silas Marner.  One child is a little behind, the other child is WAY ahead.  But FCPS would only be "concerned" with the child who has fallen a bit behind?  And the child that is way ahead isn't necessarily AAP?  How is an "advanced - AAP level reading" level determined then?

I'm sorry to be asking so many questions but I'm genuinely curious.[/quote]
