I confess I don't understand this capping thing at all...our 4-year-old is already reading at somewhere between K and M with good comprehension and can also write short sentences about what she has read.  We will do EEK to start K this fall...does the cap mean that she can only work on books up through, for example, J all through kindergarten, even if she is well above that reading level?  I guess this is something to discuss at K orientation.  We left DCPS because our oldest, who was also a very advanced reader, was mostly left alone with books because she was too far ahead to be taught with other kids.[/quote]

Depends on your school.  At our school, yes that is what would happen.   In fact it took until end of second grade before he made it to level M and I thought the same as you going in.

I would not ask this at orientation but instead send the principal an email or ask privately after orientation.  Just ask how they handle advanced readers.   Once K starts keep on the teacher to give your daughter something.[/quote]
