[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are WAY to fixated on the other kids in the class. How tye flying F do you know what their grades are or how they are performing, testing on their DRAs, or their strengtys and weaknesses?

Your only questions shoukd be about your daughter. Those other kids in her group are irrelevant to the discussion.[/quote]

OP again. What else do I have to go on? The kids who were in my daughter's word study group last year are in a different, more difficult word study group this year. Two of the girls in my daughter's word study group this year go see the reading specialist and have private tutors. Again, I didn't sleuth this information out, its widely known.

So either my daughter is slipping down in her ability (which I should have been made aware of and was not) OR my daughter is in the wrong group (and is possibly being used to bolster up these other kids, which is NOT her job) and this is a problem for a different reason. I simply want to know which of the above is the case. And no one will tell me.[/quote]

I posted above and they will not discuss the other kids or reading groups with you.  What you should be able to find out is your DD's reading level and you can ask if she is in a group with others of that same reading level.  I'm not sure why you are so fixated on this. [b] Is your DD progressing in reading?  Has her reading level gone up?[/b]  You shouldn't be so concerned with who is in her reading group as long as SHE is making progress.  That is something the school should be able to tell you[/quote]

OP here. I'm not positive but I don't really think so. Again, she gets 100% on the tests but I don't see any progression of difficulty.[/quote]

Have they not given you her reading level?   We are in MCPS and get a reading level on each report card.  Also I can see the reading levels on the books that DD brings home.  [/quote]
