[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised by these answers! Our school expects children to be able to read a (short) novel by second grade and they do chapter books as whole-class read alouds starting in preschool.[/quote] Our school expects kids to be able to read, but the kids in class don't all read the same book. In 2nd grade, DD was in a "book club" with 3 other kids reading the same book, and there were 2-3 other groups. Because DD was in the advanced reading group with longer chapters, they never even finished the book. :roll: Just read as far as they could while the lower groups finished their assigned books, and then everyone moved on. I guess I don't really understand the value of doing it this way. I'd much rather they all (or 90%) read the same mid-level book together WITH THE TEACHER'S GUIDANCE, and answer questions together.[/quote]
