[quote=Anonymous]My son had a reading group, it met with the teacher when she wasn’t working with the kids in the lower reading groups. Otherwise they read and answered worksheets and then drew or colored or read on their own. He didn’t work with the teacher in LA much through ES because he was above grade level, not by much but technically above grade level.

There are not enough reading specialists to help the kids who are behind. We refuse to hold kids back when they are not on grade level. I can see advancing a K or 1st grade kid who is struggling with reading, some kids don’t pick it up until 2nd grade. But a kid not reading by the end of 2nd grade needs to not be promoted. Mississippi started doing this in 3rd grade and it has made a huge difference.

I doubt that a kid who is struggling in school is all that confident when they stay with their peer group but knows that they are in the remedial group, and the kids know. Staying back a year and learning the foundation that you need to succeed in every class is necessary. [/quote]
