[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they should be reading chapter books as a class in 3rd grade+. I have good memories of my whole class reading Charlotte’s Web and The Indian In The Cupboard when I was a kid. 3rd grader here and Benchmark seems difficult for this age range. My DS is having trouble with the “theme”-type questions that come up on the assessments. There was an assessment with passages from Little Women and a chart on it asking students to identify which “theme” occurred in either story. That’s a lot for a 3rd grader IMO. One thing that I did appreciate is that his class is doing spelling quizzes in class this year, and I do think my kid’s spelling has improved as a result. I’ll have a K next school year and I’m hoping it’s good for the younger age range with the greater focus on phonics.
